Older Yet No Wiser Poem by Phil Soar

A year older and no wiser
Still a child of sixty-three
With thought that should be kept for boyhood dreams
A Mystery

A year older and no wiser
As I search again for youth
New chapters in my life to come
I need my 'wisdom' tooth

A year older and no wiser
Every day I yearn for more
More time to do those childhood things
I missed when I was four

A year older and no wiser
As my elders tell me often
Yet I would rather 'dis' their thoughts
My dreams are not forgotten

A year older and no wiser
Many times I reminisce
The moments from the pass I love
The feelings that I miss

A year older and no wiser
Perhaps I'll relish may more
I hope I fell the same next year
When I'll be sixty-four
