Naive (ni eve)

Steve Cochrane 1955 (Cape)



The more I see and hear and learn,
The more I realize
That though it's not of great concern,
I wish I was more wise!

I also need to help me see
The ways to understand
The levels of complexity
In some of what I've planned.

I also need to not expect
Success each time I try
To do new things which would reflect
My hope as time goes by.
