You can’t bury him yet
The wise old owl well fed
Eyes keen, a healthy spleen
A wrinkled face shows a has-been

But not so fast
Old hickory not passed
But vigilant and wise
Wisdom his greatest prize

He saunters slowly like a snail
His stories, jokes are all old mail
His humor, full of jest
Tall tales believed are just the best

He loves his kids
And grandkids in the midst
Penuriously slaved
Years of elements braved

He’s yearned it, earned it
While life has taught him quite a bit
So when you pass him say “hello”
Not finished yet, his life is on the go

Wisdom is truly gained by experience which can regrettably only be obtained through many years and earned with a whole lot of smiles and tears...

Love,

We surely do earn our experience!!
When we are young and unsteady, it is the encouragement of others that sustains us.
I hope you will lend your wisdom to the new writers who look forward to receiving comments as much as you do.
It is a small gift to ask from all who contribute here..tell us what you think. Favor us with your views and share the experience so have so richly earned.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
