Does Seem This Way Poem by Francis Duggan

We learn as we live as the wise one does say
And new lessons for us in life every day
But the more we do learn the more we realize
That we do know so little this is not a surprise
Those who think they know everything are lucky indeed
Since of any more knowledge they are not in need
That knowledge can give rise to enlightenment the point they do miss
But as is said of ignorance it can be bliss
That life is our lifetime teacher it does seem this way
And for our lessons from life always some price to pay
The years go by quickly beyond our life's prime
And eventually everyone runs out of time
We learn as we live as the wise one does say
And we never stop learning it does seem this way.
