Nothing Stuffing

At one time in my life,
I knew almost everything.
Though I was much younger then,
and quite full of stuffing.
Now as I view life,
Through a wiser man's eyes,
I've had time to realize,
that I know merely nothing.
And life is clearly finer,
with some fluffy stuffing.

Nice work, Howard. I enjoyed your poem. Amazing how much smarter we were when we were younger. The old we get, the wiser we get by knowing how little we knew then...and now!

Milton thank you for you encouragement. It is amazing how wise we are when Gravity takes over. Howard
