A Year Older, A Year Wiser

A year older, a year wiser A wisdom always in the making Nourished by experience Vitaminized by failures Strengthened by aspirations Built on the foundation of hope! Year after year Brick after brick Wiser Cemented by determination Watered by dreams Cracked by blows Repaired by a mason Working round the clock Anointing healing! Get up man. You are a year older But a year wiser And the fruits of this wisdom Often unseen Oftener unknown Ripen inside And then no more just yours Scatter in the surround Beget nurseries of wisdom Building, vitaminizing, strengthening Repairing healing Your foundation Your hope!
