Wisdom’s Sage.

I’ve lived so long I’m proud to say,
at last I know it all.
Just ask before you make a move,
I’ll save you from a fall.

My advice is freely given,
so ask me all you will
and listen to my wisdom,
to save you from a spill.

I know you’re very lucky
to have me for a friend,
I will shower you with knowledge.
and your failings I can mend.

There isn’t any other
who’s as generous as me
in showing everybody
all the things they cannot see.

I know the world will benefit
from all my good advice
for I’m a living legend
and I’m really very nice.

No wonder people love me
and worship me all day,
although I sometimes wonder
why so many keep away.

It may be that I’m younger
and those older cannot see
that a very youthful person
can be quite as smart as me.

But if they would only listen,
I could help them every way,
for I am the wisest person
that they’ll meet on any day.

Some think I am conceited,
but I know those folk are wrong.
It’s not my fault I’m perfect
and I’m never ever wrong!

Ivor G Davies



The moment created this second, is a  moment that's going to last.
It lives the full spectrum of time, the future, the present and past.
