Forever Loved

You could never be mad at me Wise old man whom my heart could see You were there when I needed you Just a young child so full of life Causing many an adult strife If I lied you could see right through You could never be mad at me Wise old man whom my heart could see Because of you I changed my ways Have respect till my dying days You were there when I needed you If I lied you could see right through You could never be mad at me Wise old man whom my heart could see Written by Brenda Meier-Hans 10.05.2014 Dr. Mehta Contest: Sonnetina Rispetto 3rd

Everybody needs a wise old man at different points in time. However, it is how we listen and how we react to the wise old man's advice, or correction. Interesting form is Sonnetina Rispetto. I googled it and discovered it was produced by Soup's own Dorian Petersen Potter. WoW!
