Awestruck

When I use to be a kid I was very tender

I heard up in the sky there is a wonder

I climb on trees to be closer still is yonder

Why these famous people are born? I ponder 

 

Next, I did was to try reading Shakespeare

I reckon, easier is to stand on the spear

Got nothing when read, I shed many a tear

God, I am useless, can’t overcome the fear

 

Enough of these, I wanted to stay in solace

For myself, there up the tree, found a place

Focused on books, forgot even to tie my lace

Newton, Einstein, Frost, none giving me peace 

 

Solitary moved forward become an engineer

Come these people again, now had an extra gear

Now believe, the wonder can be brought near

Awestruck, won’t give up, still reading Shakespeare
