Understanding Human Limitations

I suspect there are many things I’ll never know Mind of God in my mind truly such a huge part, Those who think that they understand Bible’s intent Just prove vanity’s much of the court jester’s art. Simply visualize three-year-old driving toy car Who can’t even imagine a “there” to go “to,” Who can’t really distinguish a sidewalk from lawn, Gets confused when the grass bogs him down and he’s through. Or the lover who thinks love is all that he is, Unaware that love can’t be saved, only parlayed Or the teacher who thinks that he must teach success When a man’s greatest triumph is failure displayed. Let us bask in humility all of our lives For in models not truth is our true worth expressed Every theorem is poetry from mind of man, Where the poet is king and all kings are undressed.
