But if I stopped holding
The string of my kite,

It would blow with the wind

For a day and a night.

And then when I found it,
Wherever it blew,

I should know that the wind

Had been going there too.

So then I could tell them
Where the wind goes…

But where the wind comes from

Nobody knows. —A. A. Milne

Word Meaning
keep up with it: to make progress and stay equal with someone else

ABOUT THE POET

Alan Alexander Milne (18 January 1882 – 31 January 1956) was

bear Winnie-the-Pooh and various poems. He wrote many
children’s poems. Some of these were collected and titled ‘When
We Were Young’. A collection of short stories for children titled
‘A Gallery for Children’ and other stories became a part of the
