This Wise Owl Says

This owl gives the best advice, As if he lived a thousand lifetimes. His wisdom spoke in these words: “Always move forward from the ones in your herd” Let curiosity be your fuel Question the life we abhor Because everyone must know What we know best Is what we didn’t learn at school He says, push your limits Discover The nooks Mysteries undiscovered Of He says, living in one of the oaks, You don’t notice your chains If you don’t move The more he saw the less he spoke, All this wisdom he seeked to bequeath. The less he spoke the more he heard, The weary woodman wrecking home beneath.
