<center>From the five senses (sight, touch, taste, hearing and smell) to the big questions of the existence of life, a child's imagination should never run out..</center>

<center><h2>Papa</h2></center>

<h2>

<center>Papa.
Why is the sky blue?</center>

<center>Papa.
Why is water wet? </center>

<center>Papa.
Why is candy sweet? </center>

<center>Papa.
Why is that music so loud?</center>

<center>Papa.
Why does poop smell so bad? </center>

<center>...
....</center>

<center>Papa.
Where did I come from?</center>

<center>...
....</center>

<center>Papa.
What happens when I die?</center>

<center>...
....</center>

<center>Papa.
How do I know that I'm real and not just a dream of someone else?</center>

<center>...
....</center>

<center>Papa..</center>

<center>....</center>

<center>How do we know what’s real?</center>

I enjoyed reading your poem @droucil  it is awesome to witness the innocence and the curiosity of a child, which takes a lot of patience from us. However we should be excited when our kids ask questions because this is how they learn and grow.

Very true. The curiosity and imagination a child has I find the most remarkable quality there is, and shoudd be there to be nurtured. Well-worth the patience :)
