Old man answered,
"That dear child
is the map of journeys
that I have undertaken".
The child curious, asked again,
"But why do they all criss and cross?"
Old man said with a smile in his voice,
"Oh, every road that I took
crossed every road that I took".
The child replied all knowingly,
"yes, like school to home
and home to the park,
and to the Vidhya's house". [comments] => 10 [counter] => 166 [topic] => 21 [informant] => remote [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 20 [ratings] => 4 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Lifepoems )

Great poem. "Are you adding to the journey theme that I have been writing about?" If you are this would be a good poem to add to that series.

I love children, they take everything so literally. In their innocence they are quite brilliant, as is this relay of conversation. Definitely an interesting piece of work.
