Forever learning…

 Playing outside ‘til it’s dark, climbing,
 trusting, then falling & injured, why, why?
 Seeking to forgive the why but not hearing it
 He is the forgiving one…why him?
 Is life imperfect, he asks?

Always learning, seeking answers, solving problems, 
writing, learning, remembering, asking even Google!

Is he Albert Einstein?
or, a smart, searching, curious man who
Loves the world and all it teaches.

I should ask, will he teach me?
