A Student Was Assigned

A student was assigned-
"Observe this fish all day"
Was there much to find?
She watched it swim each way

With concentrated focus
She labored much to draw
In her formed a purpose
To recreate what she saw

She used all her senses
As grew in her a need
To pass prior fences
And see where that would lead

As in her gathered, "why's"
She studied more to see
And right before her eyes
Her mind was more set free

And without outside sources
She discovered a new thing
This is how knowledge courses
From questioning and doing

I Knew It, and I Knew That God Knew It
