Crowns of white hair......poem

With age comes wisdom
Heavens wholeness;
its beauty bare...
Spoken and given to us by those
now aged in splender
with crowns of white hair.

They lived their lives
and traveled hard roads,
broke their backs as they
carried their loads.

They craved a path of knowledge
only life can teach,
there're a fount themselves
as they bend low to preach.

Don't pass them by
No! don't turn your backs,
listen and learn for they've
bared those tracks.

Let their wisdom lead you forth
steady your grip and keep
straight your course.

For in the ear of a seed
the words will bring sprout!
you'll walk upright in peace
you'll move without doubt.

With age comes wisdom
Heaven's wholeness;
its beauty bare,
Given to us by angels
who now live.... only to share.

    That is the truth. Has alway's been my interest to listen to the people older than I. So much knowledge. My Grandma, which is betty's and my mom's mom erica lived to be 103 and she used to tell me all kind's of neat thing's. shoot she was born 1901. Ya know po that was the last time i talked to jerry and ron was at grandma's 100thb-day party up in grant at the nursing home. Wonderful poem, You are so very talented.
