Wisdom

Wisdom is the ability
To rapidly distinguish
The rules that apply
In any given situation.
It’s the power
That enables you
To confront new
And challenging
Conditions with confidence,
Grace and style
Verses fear
And trepidation.
It’s an understanding
Of the laws of nature
As well as the laws
Of the land.
It’s the capacity
To learn from
The mistakes of others
As well as our own.
It’s the talent
To pick up
Subtle cues
Others will often miss.
Most of all,
Wisdom is
The product of
Living life
With open eyes
And an open mind.
