Intelligence


 

I once stumbled and caught myself;

DANCE was brought to the world.

I had a tantrum and threw a berry;

ART was born.

I lost my voice and couldn’t stay silent;

ACTING was introduced.

I talked to the deaf who wanted to hear;

WRITING was created.

I came across a blind man who wanted to see;

STORYTELLING was found.

 

I lived in the hearts of Aristotle, Socrates, and Plato;

I taught them how to THINK.

My oldest daughter was Queen Elizabeth I;

She learned how to be INDEPENDENT.

I adopted George Washington;

He became a remarkable LEADER.

I talked to Albert Einstein,

He came up with E=mc2.

When a child finds me,

LAUGHTER is found.

When YOU accept me,

The world will change.
