I'm A Child / 이한중

I'm a child.
I don't know anything.

My mind is a golden pond
That reflects unconditionally 
Everything around,
The trees, the stars, the moon, 
And the passing clouds,
And trembles with each blowing wind.

My soul is a lone stroller
Along the edge of the pond
Looking over the reflections,
The shadows.

Day and night 
Night and day
Spring, summer, autumn and winter
I wonder, and I wonder
What they are that I see,
That I hear
And that I feel.

And I wonder, and I wonder
Why the world is as it is,
Why humans are as they are:
They can be as loving as Jesus,
Yet can be as hateful as any wild animal.

And yet I wonder, and I wonder
Why this universe and this Mother Earth 
Look so full of wonders and beauty,
And what for.

Then I'm only a child
I don't know anything.
