Little Know It All

Now know we. What we know,
What we thought we knew we knew.

Way back then we knew it all,
nothing to big or to small.

But as we grew from small to tall,
we came to know that we didn’t know 
what we thought we knew,  we  knew.

Experience and maturity pulled us through 
and taught us what we knew we knew.

So if they’re growing small to tall 
and they know they know it all.

Please be patient until they’re through.
Then they’ll know what they knew they knew.
