Today
I was asked by a child
just eleven grand years himself
if we were actually all
born with Alzheimer's?
and whilst reflecting on his question
my mind went into the most
profound depths of reflection
I had to ask him, simply out of my own curiosity
why he would ever ask such a question?
he replied…
because he doesn't remember
any of the first five years
of his own life
and whilst I stood reflecting
on his incredibly
innocent answer
I couldn't help but reflect
on
the fact
this child is a genius.

A lot of wisdom here. A poem that shows the innocent wisdom of a child
and also the wisdom of your own recognition. It's also sad that there is no answer to the child's question, not yet . Perhaps in the future. when we comprehend all the workings of a brain, we'll be able to answer it. A lovely poem. - Phil A.

The innocence of a child and the honesty to say what things are in their eyes is what leads to the genius of learning. We do forget as we grow old and what I think is the greatest shame is we forget how to be a child.
