Quatrain of Childish Mind

Childish Mind - it is a great thing

Wouldn't it be a miracle if you
were born fully grown, and
as you aged,
became a
child?

Well, that is exactly what
happens to the mind,
as you get older
it becomes
beguiled.

You think with no great gravity
when young, but discover
silly notions when
you grow
old,

An aged mind is a wonderful concept,
but you won't experience hefty thoughts as you grow
childish and your
thoughts become
uncontrolled.
