Age Does Not Bring Wisdom Poem by Francis Duggan

Age does not bring wisdom i have come to realize
Everyone does grow older but few do grow wise
No fool like an old fool as some like to say
Seniority does not guarantee wisdom it does seem this way
It has not been yesterday since i have become aware
That the wise of the World have always been rare
It does seem that wisdom is a gift to the mind
In words and in deeds the wise are always kind
Feel lucky if you have one wise person as a friend
Your feelings he or she will never offend
The wise one the quietest in the noisy crowd
He or she you will never hear talking loud
And since wisdom on bushes and trees does not grow
Feel lucky if one wise person you do know.
