To Understand

To understand.
Is to never question.
To never make a suggestion.
Or to experience a resurrection.
Never suffer from self-destruction.
To never feel reluctant.
To find everything very abundant.

To understand.
Is to never get lost.
To not to have to pay more than the actual course.
To never find ground covered in frost.
Nor to misplace your floss.

To understand.
Is to feel at home.
Never feel alone.
To own all the knowledge there is to be known.

That’s what it means to understand.
There’s so much to know in this land.
But to really understand is beyond grand.
To understand.
