Wisdom

It starts at our parents feet through their teaching
and follows with our teachers  and our studying.
When we are teenagers its about fun and partying
still learning about life while curbing our drinking.

Now as we move on we become less trusting
that some friendships  will leave heads aching
Early twenty's are fraught leaving us searching
for the right person we will end up marrying

Middle age is time wisdom starts appearing
we know our  place now we are settling
into old age which can be very exciting
wisdom comes a thing of ease and understanding.

I on the same boat... but about the wisdom, I feel like Silent some, "still remain fools". I feel I am one of the fools. I am tickled to see you back, it's been a long time my friend

You have not lost your poetic touch.. love the monorhymes... partying and drinking do go hand in hand.. most people do get wiser by age, but a little minority still remain fools.. its so nice seeing you post again.. we both seem to have come back at the same time...
