A child imitates its mother with air. <br />An adult imitates models to seem fair. <br />A child imagines a child in a doll <br />And enjoys tending it with fantasy. <br />An adult imagines some ones in his <br />And experience bliss in fantasy. <br />A child fears and pretends ignorance. <br />An adult dreads and pretends innocence. <br />Though old, still a child, I amuse myself <br />Though wise, still a child, I fool myself. <br />12.06.2008<br /><br />Rm.Shanmugam Chettiar.<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/an-adult-is-still-a-child/
