I am a child

I am a child

A Poem by Jon Roggie

When you still need to learn,
 you are a child.

Have you obtained the sum of knowledge?

Sorry,
  being a rude child.

Years pass,
 and my hair lightens.

I did not say going bald,
  and I prefer silver.
I still try to have style.

I am a child.

What do I learn next?

You are right my friend. Life is constant learning. My Grandfather told me. Learn something new every day. Thank you Jon for sharing the amazing poetry.

So much to learn, and our lives are too short.

You are right Jon. Always learning.
we are still children deep inside, we still have lots to learn. no matter what color the hair is, no matter how old we are we simply do not know everything. nice work
