A great mystery in life, <br />I guess I'll never understand, <br />How do you put a child, <br />In the body of a man? <br /> <br />We come into this life, <br />In a normal typical way, <br />We all start out as children, <br />Just wanting to laugh and play. <br /> <br />Our bodies grow bigger and bigger, <br />Unto adulthood we are bound, <br />The child is still within us, <br />But now, not to be found. <br /> <br />This child will never leave us, <br />It stays down thru the years, <br />The only way I know he's there, <br />I meet him thru my tears. <br /> <br />Yes, life is a big mystery, <br />Many things hard to understand, <br />But this thing I would like to know, <br />How you put a child, in the body of a man. <br /> <br />Author, <br />Franklin Spriggs <br />2/15/08<br /><br />Franklin Spriggs<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-mystery-of-life/
