The Joy Of Learning Poem by Shalom Freedman

The joy of learning
The love of finding out
The pleasure of searching to understand
All these give meaning to life
Even in our old age-
Even when one knows
One will know only a small part
Of what there is to know
And not understand
So much beyond one's own personal mental power
And so much beyond all human understanding-
Even in feeling how small one is in all of it
Meaning in learning and knowing and understand
In walking humbly with one's God
