Never A Burden

Knowledge is never a weight on the mind
Those open to learning become the enlightened kind
We learn as we live something new every day
That knowledge is not a burden only true to say
Yet the more we do learn the more we realize
That we do know so little this not a surprise
Yet all of the knowledge we accumulate we do not retain
Why some lessons we forget beyond me to explain
Though of the praises of how clever they are some do love to sing
The one not born yet who does know everything
Though the know it all types are not of the few
That these are the people with so much to learn is not saying what is new
Yes knowledge is never a burden on the mind
And those open to learning are of the enlightened kind.
