A Thousabd Paths To Wisdom
Wisdom comes not from what’s been taught
Nor from books can it be sought
Age too does not make you wise
Though this may come as a surprise
Through life’s pathways we may stumble
Adversities that make us humble
Arousing depths of comprehensions
Shaping us in new dimensions
A thousand paths that we shall tread
So many perceptions we must shed
With open minds that do not judge
Through hills and valley we will trudge
Life’s trials and errors mould your soul
Which give you depth and make you whole
Those failures that you’ve overcome
Are parts of which you have become
When you have reached that furthest star
Believing who you truly are
With wisdom and with conscience clear
Embarking on a new frontier
