I’ve ample recall
Changing
To big from small,
Events the details
Of a measure
Notched on the wall,
That tells of progress
Growing bound,
What held be tall
Yet now looks down,
To see a childish goal…
Alas best have thought
To give the mind a shot
At growing smartly tall,
And place the measure
Well above the notch
Thus so grow to know,
There be more need
For brain to reach beyond
The marks upon a wall!
