In the quest for understanding, a journey without end,
I've come to know that knowledge, no boundaries transcend.
A vast and boundless ocean, where every ripple leads,
To depths of information, sowing countless wisdom seeds.
Like the mighty baobab, whose branches reach so high,
Whose trunk is strong and ancient, beneath the boundless sky,
The tree of knowledge stretches, so vast, no one can claim,
To know it in its entirety, to grasp it by its name.
For every layer peeled back, another one appears,
Each truth a stepping stone, that banishes all fears.
The more I learn, the more I see, the vastness that exists,
A universe of concepts, that forever will persist.
What I consider wisdom, a peak I've bravely climbed,
Is but a gentle foothills, for others more refined.
The highest reach I've attained, in what I think I know,
Is just a starting point, for others still to grow.
One's most profound insight, a truth they hold so dear,
May be another's basic fact, a lesson crystal clear.
And so the cycle continues, a quest that knows no end,
For knowledge is a journey, where all our paths transcend.
The baobab stands as witness, to the lessons we must learn,
That pride in knowing all things, is foolish and will burn.
Humility's the key, to unlock understanding's door,
To humbly seek the wisdom, that calls us to explore.
So I will learn and grow, with open mind and heart,
And never claim to know it all, and truly play my part,
For knowledge is a baobab, majestic, vast and grand,
And understanding its true nature, is the greatest gift at hand.
