They say that age is the price we pay for experience.
When we first find out as a child that floors are hard and
Hurt when you when you fall.
When parents yell as we get near the fire, we end up in tears
Wondering if they love us.
As we get older our experiences grow and make us
Supposedly much wiser than we were before.
The biggest lessons we learn
Are from our many mistakes that we make as we go
Along life’s rocky road.
It’s not only age that pays for the curve of our learning.
We also deliberately take the choice that we know is wrong
Making a choice that we
Know is wrong in our hearts and minds but
Is right for others
If there wasn’t a price we wouldn’t know,
We’ve learned something.
