Space Through a Telescope

Ever since I was five, I thought I knew it all, With one glance into the microscopic telescope, I could see the whole universe. When I grew up I learned to read and write, And even at a young age I knew big "werds" But never did I think at the experienced age of five To stop and think if I was alive. So I stopped to feel the world turn And to see the clouds move. Just for a moment to recognize the five-year-old surprise. But I remember on that day, the Earth and the clouds-- The altercation overtook He, And only then would I know there was much more Than five-year-old me.

its very difficult to talk about my early childhood, and this is the best attempt I've had in awhile.
