Beauty And Wisdom

Though beauty in the eyes of the beholder or so we are told Few can see any beauty in a face that is old But from living experience one becomes more wise Which after all does come at no big surprise And though the praises of beauty many love to sing It is known to fade like the flowers of the Spring But wise words they do seem to live on and on Long after the breath of life from the one who first spoke them has gone Of beauty so many poems written and so many songs sung But wisdom lives on and beauty dies young The visual beauty plain for all to see But wisdom always outlives it would you not agree? Beauty and wisdom are different as the word can be One of them is quite visual and the other hidden from all including you and me.
