Kindergedicht - Child Poem

When I was little everything was so big I thought I lived in a world of giants. Even the cat looked like a lion. The sky seemed endless and scared me. Lound noises too like thunder, a rain strom or the wind. I'd drown them out by crying. With my first steps I began to understand the world I was born into, a place of mystery and exploration. As I grew bigger my mother playing the piano, music on the radio or gramaphone, made me sing and dance. A musical child they called me. When I was seven I went to school, but what's learning for? A B C? I knew that already and 2 + 2 makes 4. May be my older brother can explain this to me?
