Wisdom
Wisdom
Wisdom is a grave virtue
It comes with time and age
He isIt looks like an old man
Rocking in an old wooden chair
All of his past running through his mind
He isIt's like a book flowing with words
Every sentence means an experience worth experiencing
He isIt like a tree full of ancient time
Trudging through the thick and thin
To live in a beautiful world we have today
Sharing what he's learned to his younger people
The wind whistling through his limbs
Sounds like the powerful knowledge he stores within
Letting out what he's held inside for so long
Entertaining the ones excited to learn
