The Learning Tree

Wisdom and knowledge,
What’s the difference?
Wisdom comes with knowledge,
But does knowledge come with wisdom?
Wisdom has its moments,
Comes with a sense of glee.
Knowledge is a bore,
Requires study, you see.

Wisdom is a tree,
Sturdy and standing tall.
Knowledge is a bird,
Small, a bit nerdy overall.

Yet, this remains true,
Knowledge seeks wisdom's realm,
Just as a bird seeks a tree’s shelter,
to flourish in its helm.
