The Wise

by Marcella - Libra

As we grew old we never thought
what life might bring to us.
We listened through the years to the
Wise but never thought we would 
survive, however, as we aged,
we wondered how we made it without 
the cry the Wise made.
The Wise, of course, are always right,
but we would never listen.
They knew the in and out of things
just the way they happened.
But we, of course, with heads so strong
could not believe that we were wrong.
Wise see all things at present, and in
time, forsee the far, but again,
we took for granted what the Wise have said before.
Take heed, listen:  The Wise are always there,
believe you me--they know what's best,
for themselves have been there.
