Wisdom

Book vector created by Freepik

I come seeking wisdom

A word from the wise

He says

Mouth opens wide

He grins

I wonder what advise

I can give?

If I knew then

What I know now

That the world can

Be cruel and unkind

It can chew you up and

Spit you out.

Would I have then

Done things differently?

Or would I have

Never changed a thing

Because in the midst

Of  anger and betrayal.

I have also felt

The kindness of strangers

Been enveloped by love

By family and friends

Helped by Samaritans

When I was down.

I now embrace

Sorrows and joy

All in equal measure

They have made me

What I am now

Older but much wiser

Getting wiser in this month ;-) so 'W' for 'Wisdom'.
