Admission

Rating: 5.0


I say with all sincerity.
You can be sure I speak the truth
I’m not the man I used to be
I was a most obnoxious youth.
I thought then I knew everything
ignored all good advice I heard.
Til life taught me I knew nothing
My pretensions were absurd.
Now I have reached maturity.
I know I don’t know very much
That I can claim with surety.
although I try to keep in touch.
I must accept reality
knowledge advances constantly.

Oh my goodness doesn't it indeed. It is real hard to keep up with the speed of these advancements. The brain is buffeted from all sides. This I enjoyed very much as I do all your writes. Great flow and contents. love and hugs Ernestine XXX

From experience we have to learn from our own mistakes. It's who we are at the end that's important. Lovely work.
