Age And Wisdom
They say with age comes wisdom...
I’d like to think that’s true...
I like to think I’m wiser now...
than when I was 22.
Wise enough to know Family is everything...
our link to the future...from the past...
To have known the joy of making love...
and the wonder of making love last.
Wise enough to know
How I want to be defined...
As a man who followed one philosophy...
It’s always better to be kind.
I am now 64...a little wiser...that is true
Yet I wonder...
what wisdom will be revealed to me...
by the time I’m 92.
I loved this, I too am 64 and
I loved this, I too am 64 and find that not only wisdon but a contentment and calm appreciation of all I have has also come with age.
To Be Wise
.
A side affection
scorched by years
of walking like
a crane through
dangerously lovely
waters.
.
Collecting little
wisdom pieces like
shells.
.
Decades come
decades fade
and hope is not
a future thing
it is a present thing
wanting to share
what has been
gleaned from
living in water.
