A Pine Needle

A pine needle fell in my hair
Reawakening an old longing
Hit on the head by an apple
Newton discovered gravity 
	 
His finding was so important 
For our world and age
The first brick of knowledge 
For every pupil and sage

But this longing of mine
Has made me a different man
While I'm trying hard 
To get the law of love

Newton, I admire you
But now stay away from me
A pine needle fell in my hair
And I forgot all about gravity
