From Life We Do Learn

From life we do learn something new every day We never stop learning as some like to say And from others we learn something we never knew Yes everyday we live we learn something new Not every old person you know is a sage Some young people have wisdom way beyond their age I know many younger people far wiser than me Of that age does bring with it wisdom there is no guarantee Few lessons in life ever come to us for free At least anyhow that's how it seems to be Though for our every mistake there is some price to pay We learn as we live as some do like to say That from living we do learn does seem so true And from life we receive what is only our due.
