Wise Man

Only a wise man gives as much as he takes of life
Knowing well how precious the value of its balance is 
Only a wise man knows forever is around the corner 
When you live life in love and die in love
Only a wise man can see truth in a man’s soul
And not the fool he pretends to be 
Looking for attention in a poor act of humiliation
While here, temporarily, on this Earth school he stays
Wasting the potential of his eager soul to grow
Only a wise man chooses a road of light
Because he knows only there he can find 
Comfort for the ever traveling soul
Only a wise man does NOT choose anything 
When the subject is true love 
He simply surrenders
