I Have So Much To Learn Poem by Francis Duggan

For sixty five years of living in material success i have nothing to show
And of life and of Nature i have so much to learn and know
And though i may be growing older i have not grown wise
I have so much to learn i have come to realize
For the lessons of life there is some price to pay
But it is true we do learn something new every day
Life for us has so many lessons for to give
We never stop learning for as long as we live
It is true that knowledge and wisdom on bushes and trees does not grow
And i have come to realize that so little i do know
Of the ways of life yet we learn every day
We do never stop learning it does seem this way
Those who think they know it all must be arrogant indeed
If any lessons in life they do not think they need.
