I Cannot Contemplate a Child

In every man, there is a child.--Santosh Kalwar I cannot contemplate a child-- His essence is much too complex; Though I look deep into his eyes, His soul I cannot fathom yet. Suffice it, thus, that this I know: A child lives on in every man. April 2, 2023 Honorable Mention Bite Size Contest no.61 Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Line Gauthier

Wonderful Ryan! It becomes clear when we allow time for introspection that we are all a child when we look deep enough.

Yes, so complex are children, ganglions of nerves all jangling. Would that we retain more of their intellectual and emotional curiosity!
