Learning should not be,
Something we seek,
But instead something we see,
Naturally reach its peak.
Man should not force his mind,
To extend his knowledge,
He should leave the books behind,
For the fools at college.
From the trees we can answer,
The questions that life brings us,
Mother Nature as an enhancer,
And ender to our fuss.
The student having trouble,
Will have a book in hand,
While those who do not fumble,
Have developed a better plan.
Sometimes the best lessons,
Are not found in words,
But instead in the sessions,
Of the migrating birds.
