Have you ever wondered why,
How did they make that thing...
From a complex Jumbo Jet,
To a tiny piece of string...
So many little gadgets,
We use each and every day...
All those questions go unanswered,
As we turn the other way...
These things we take for granted,
As we rush around the place...
They seem so insignificant,
Compared to the problems that we face...
Maybe we should slow down a bit,
Smell the roses now and then...
Take notice of what’s around you,
Have a talk with some wise men...
Our kids have all the answers,
In that land of make believe...
Not a worry in the world,
It’s so good to be so naïve...
We need to learn from them,
Let our imagination all run wild...
Instead of being so serious,
Look within the inner child...
Then life would be so simple,
We would finally crack a smile...
Even if for a short time,
It would make our life’s worthwhile!
