We Never Are Too Old

We never are too old for to stop learning and from life we learn a lesson every day And it does not mean that you have to stop learning even though you have grown old and tired and gray And those who think they know it all know little they go through life as blinkered one might say The more we know the less we know we do know that's life and life has always been this way, We never are too old for to stop learning and knowledge is the great food of the soul And though we age and we become less lucid and time on our ageing memory taking toll We still have lessons for to learn from living though some grow older but they don't grow wise You will find wisdom amongst quite young children the wisdom of the young it can surprise, We never are too old for to start learning when it comes to learning no such a thing as too old You learn something new in every story even stories that so often have been told On our life's journey we never stop learning and we keep on learning till our very end The book of life the greatest book unwritten and the book of life is to everyone a friend And we never are too old for to stop learning that's how it is and that's how 'twill always be And that ought to apply to everybody and that applies to you as well as me.
