Where have they gone?

"Where have they gone, those good people?
Who carry their hearts in their eyes
Who patiently wait when the child is struggling to string a question
Who are acutely conscious of their ignorance, yet
Are fearless to do what they feel right
Who have read a lot, but spring up at every new book
Who don't fall for the outside, but can discern the insides
Who don't go around sprinkling their importance"
