I Do Know That Babies

I do know that babies on bushes do not grow But so little of Nature and life i do know Yet i learn a little from life every day We never stop learning as some like to say For our lessons in life there is some price to pay This is how it is and it will always be this way But our successes or lack of such all the same to us in the end Since we are mere mortals why otherwise pretend Does it matter if some dismiss me as a fool Or if i was the dunce of the primary school Others have their opinions and this suits me fine And what they think of me is their business not mine The only form of success i crave in my life span Is that i should live as a far kinder man.
