Beauty And Wisdom Poem by Francis Duggan

Beauty And Wisdom



Though beauty in the eyes of the beholder or so we are told
Few can see any beauty in a face that is old
But from living experience one becomes more wise
Which after all does come at no big surprise
And though the praises of beauty many love to sing
It is known to fade like the flowers of the Spring
But wise words they do seem to live on and on
Long after the breath of life from the one who first spoke them has gone
Of beauty so many poems written and so many songs sung
But wisdom lives on and beauty dies young
The visual beauty plain for all to see
But wisdom always outlives it would you not agree?
Beauty and wisdom are different as the word can be
One of them is quite visual and the other hidden from all including you and me.
