In search of answers
looking for them -
In grass, side walks,
Flowers and buds.
In critters and bugs
Trees and bushes!
In search of answers
While lumbering around -
In bloomers and suspenders,
squeaky boots and pom pom caps!
Till the bloomers bloom into formals
And then the transformation of
Question and answer sessions
Take unexpected turns
Looking for them in people -
Their ages, lives, their homes and dreams
Inquisitiveness takes an ugly twist!
Ah…the pains of growing up:-)
