The Wisdom of Life

In quiet moments, when the day drifts away,

Lie treasures unseen, where the heart learns to sway.

The wisdom of living, woven in time,

A gift that unfolds, like a soft, gentle rhyme.Each step that we’ve taken, on paths rough and steep,

Has shaped us and taught us, helped our spirits leap.

The storms of existence brought sorrow and pain,

Yet from every loss, richer hearts we obtain.Grateful I stand, looking back on the years,

At the songs of existence, the laughter, the tears.

The joy in the smiles, the ache in the night,

Every moment a teacher, guiding us to light.Wisdom whispers softly in the stillness of night,

It speaks of the love that keeps our souls bright.

Of friendships that blossom like flowers in spring,

Of moments of bliss that make our hearts sing.In nature’s embrace, in the vastness above,

I find peace and solace, and feel the pulse of love.

Mountains share stories, rivers hum their tune,

And in every breath, gratitude finds room.Life’s lessons are often heavy to bear,

Yet they teach us humility, and the power of care.

“Why is it so?” we ponder, “What can I learn?”

In the quest for the answers, our spirits can churn.But when we pause gently, and dwell in the now,

We see the beauty of life, and we learn to allow.

The simple things matter, a smile, a kind glance,

In the fabric of joy, we find our true dance.So I thank this life for the highs and the lows,

For moments of doubt that pushed me to grow.

For the love that remains, and the hope that ignites,

For the wisdom that flourishes when the heart takes flight.May I always remember, in storms that arise,

That wisdom and gratitude walk hand in hand, wise.

In each new tomorrow, in each dawn’s gentle light,

I find the wisdom that whispers, guiding me right.
