Wisdom's Key

It's the youth,
This world is waiting for,
The elders are hesitant, 
To open life's uncertain doors.

Not yet discouraged,
By the failures of their past,
Eagerly they go into tomorrow, 
Offering us a bolder path.

The youth are anxious to find,
Thier fortune and fame,
Elders feel life has passed by,
There's nothing more to gain.

It is the wise youth,
Who learns from the elders before,
They find wisdom's key,
The unlocks tomorrows door.
