The Quest For Knowledge Poem by Paula Glynn

The scientist on a quest for knowledge
Dreaming of being Albert Einstein
Dreaming of understanding
Complex scientific equations
Theories and top level mathematics

Having no problem understanding
Having no problem withstanding
Those science and mathematics exams
Writing science papers
That echo Albert Einstein

Graduating high school
Never being the class fool
Being the top class student
Being the high achiever
That exclusive guest list

Always treated with respect
Always too smart for the other students
Always showing initiative
Always on time for class
Always sitting every exam

Knowing every correct answer
Knowing every correct spelling
Knowing every correct technique
Knowing every correct approach
Knowing every correct process

Spending childhood and adulthood
In every classroom through the years
From primary school to secondary school
From college to university
Into the pressure of the workplace

But with all this knowledge
Comes wisdom and self confidence
And high self esteem that does show
Other students knowing not to play
And if they do play, play nice

Growing old respectfully
Learning in every classroom
Becoming confident and super smart
Having a loving heart and vast imagination
Along with being leader of the class.
