The Gift A man walking In an imperfect world Finds himself imperfect The seeds of defeat Are sown below him The joy of his dreams Lies within his view On the horizon If he lowers himself In to self pity He warms the seeds They grow quickly Into vines That can entrap him If he fights his way up And dusts himself off Then takes a look at the horizon He finds that his dreams Have become much clearer And closer to him He begins to believe In himself And in so doing He realizes That he has found The gift of wisdom |

Told like a grandfather would tell his grandchild, in a lovingly understandable way. Nicely conveyed, Daniel. A good and important message you have delivered. -MVS "If you think you know it all, you have a lot to learn." |
