Wisdom
Wisdom is the best of things
And the wise know it’s so
A reward to those that have lived
And travelled down the road
Wisdom is a gradual thing
And is the sum of our days
With the satisfaction that it brings
To those old and gray
Wisdom grows with years and trials
And the struggles in one’s life
With a history of valuable things
On which we rely
Wisdom includes a responsibility
To pass along the light
As a gift to those needing it
From those that have survived
Wisdom does not come from books
But is a spiritual thing
With a life given a second look
And the insight that it brings
