Wisdom
They say-Wisdom comes only with age...
When we're young and full of laughter-
We dream about Happily Ever After.
Like we're in a play-on a stage.
Youth is our curtain call...A priceless admission.
Adulthood-no more asking permission.
Mid-life ( no crisis )-it's our intermission.
Suddenly, you've been through it all...
Eventually-the curtain's coming down.
Audience is gone-no one's around.
Has it really been that long ? Can't recall...
What went wrong ? Our fear is strong.
Reflections we try to capture...
Stop to sigh-Begin to cry-our tears for years.
Time has flown by-No need to ask why.
Took so much for granted-Never got what we wanted.
Did we miss the rapture ?
A stop along the way-One fast look-By the way---
It's your book-last page-final chapter...
Sunny days become gray, fun and laughter has gone away.
Everything is filled with a haze. Didn't enjoy Life day by day.
Lonely and all alone--ever amazed.
They say-- Wisdom comes only with age.
