The Wisdom of Wisdom

Wisdom.

Wisdom is gained by knowledge and experience
But doesn't always come from  a life lived
Maturity and old age
For some  never really seem to learn
From the book of life
And are still stuck
On the first page

Be it better they have gained wisdom
On the things that really matter
Than have no wisdom at all
Facts and truth  may remain alluff 
But they can protect you from trips and falls
Make you stop and think
Before saying a word
Avoid a situation that spells danger
And season others words with a pinch of salt
When ever heard

But life is all about risk and change
And in some cases wisdom may not be enough at all
Your bed is changed by somebody else
That you have to lie on
And you have to keep your eye on the ball

Wisdom can bring great reward
But too much wisdom may not be too good at all
For man cannot always rely on his own wisdom
But Gods wisdom
For he is 
The wisest 
Of them all.
