Wisdom

I am only what I know
from what I have heard,
what I have seen 
and what I have yet to learn.
This insight,
with the lessons to come 
makes me who I am;
who I will be.

Wonderful. This is a little gem. I love "what I have yet to learn" and "lessons to come" As long as we are living, we are learning.
