Yes, wisdom comes with time and experience. Sometimes we learn from the school of hard knocks. Thanks for sharing this timeless wisdom and for dropping by my page. Sara

thanks, Sara, for stopping by and for your comments. Much of my wisdom has come from the school of hard knocks :-) Enjoy your weekend, the other Sara

Sara, I wish everyone could embody the essence of your way of living, a harmonious blend of wisdom and intellect captured in the delicate artistry of haiku. As I envision you and your remarkable partner Bill, I am in awe of the graceful passage of time etched upon your faces, a testament to the beauty of aging with grace and wisdom.

Wow, Sotto, your words overwhelm me. I seek wisdom and I guess it comes through it what I write and do. I'm grateful for you saying such complimentary things about both Bill and I. We work at aging gracefully. Sometimes, though, we're not graceful :-) We're human and falter. Your poetic friendship is meaningful to both of us. Enjoy your weekend, Sara

Thank you, Silent One, for stopping by. Yes, Bill and I are married--40 years now. He's always loved writing poetry. I'm new to poetry. I've been writing memoir vignettes for years and also written a novel. Writing poetry is addictive, almost intoxicating. Thanks for your kind words...have a wonderful day, Sara

Sadly, some never do acquire it. They smoke tobacco, eat the wrong things, get little or no exercise, spend most of their waking hours in front of the tube. But for those who do acquire wisdom with age, and especially godly wisdom, they are precious pearls. Nice haiku Sara

True, some never do....I know some folks like that...even some folks my age...seems like wisdom should come to folks at that age...perhaps not, though, if they don't seek it. Thanks for stopping by and for enjoying my Haiku. Have a great evening, Sara
