Notes About The Poem

Words Inspirational and Wise

"In my life thus far I have acquired wisdom
that I am going to share with youth of today
so here goes, best take notes . . ."  by Poet 

Obey your parents even when you know much more,
have good manners like thank you, your welcome, and please;
respect seniors because one day you will be one,
never lie, the truth is easier to remember;
don't condone violence, verbal or physical.

"In my life thus far I have acquired wisdom
that I am going to share with youth of today
so here goes, best take notes . . . "

Learn how to apologize with heart and mean it,
be silent when others are roaring in this life;
and be a true, true blue trustworthy, faithful friend,
see the lessons in failure and then try again;
never burn your bridges you may want to go back.

"In my life thus far I have acquired wisdom
that I am going to share with youth of today
so here goes, best take notes . . . "

Read books, discover art, poetry and music,
find the beauty in nature-  the song of a bird;
go to bed early and get up early rested,
eat healthy and learn how to cook, could be useful,
believe in yourself and learn to stand alone strong.

"In my life thus far I have acquired wisdom
that I am going to share with youth of today
did you take notes?  Because this is the end . . . "

Oh, lastly-  keep a journal and take photographs!

Sally Eslinger December 6, 2020 at 11:52 AM Truth. Said well with a flowing kindness. Esp. Like , be silent in the roaring, which I haven’t learned til very recently and I’m about to turn 70! I think only the patience of aging wisdom helped me learn that tho. Good one. sally Constance La France December 6, 2020 at 11:56 AM Sally, thank you so much for visiting my poem and commenting, we never stop learning in life even as adults, and silence is a hard one to learn it takes great strength of character but I think if one can achieve it your tranquility will be soaring _Constance
