"Wisdom comes with age"
An old adage it may be.
Which remains to be true.
Together with it comes the pain
Based on the sad experience as well as from lack of it.
Whatever happens in life
There's no knowing the final outcome.
Just being prepared for the worst to come
Or count one's blessing
No matter how brief or miniscule it may be.
As the year passes,
New faces seen,
New names heard,
New friendships formed and severed
But old greetings uttered.
Still, the basic fact remains,
No matter what one do
A boy turns into a man,
A girl grows up to be a lady
Everyone gains an inch or two.
Maybe not in height, not even in weight.
More of experience
Then, comes the wisdom.
The rest then follows,
Even falling in and out of love.
