We Do Learn As We Live Poem by Francis Duggan

In late Autumn when ripe the apples do fall
As is often said time does take care of all
And fallen apples make for a tasty treat
When at their ripest they are nice to eat
And i often heard said that wisdom comes with age
A rare one indeed is a very young sage
For life's experiences in time we must pay
We do learn from life or it does seem this way
Yet the more we come to know of life the more we realize
That so little we know of it this is not a surprise
Since we never cease to learn of life until the day we die
This is a fact and fact does never lie
We do learn as we live seems ever true
And what we put into life it can become our due.
