Wisdom is a blessing, an endearing gift from God.
It takes many years to learn it. Every day a lesson's taught.
Only many years of learning how to recognize what's best,
Bestows this gift upon you as life puts you to it's test.
And when you reach those golden years,
You've learned so very much.
Recognizing simple virtues like another's trusting touch.
The only way to gain it is to live life full and fun,
Counting every blessing until your days are done.
Knowledge is an heirloom...
Things you've learned and things you've done,
Will reward your every effort when it's passed on to your son.
Age becomes the best reward, the time spent growing wise.
True value in your lessons flowing down through family ties.
Look forward to your golden years, the blessing's in disguise.
Your wonderful fulfillment, the reward of being wise.
