Wisdom Is Earned

“Wisdom Is Earned”

Choices.
Some good, some bad.
Some right, some wrong.
One way because you’re weak.
One way because you’re strong.

Wisdom is earned through experience,
It simply can’t be given.
Wisdom is earned.
Gleaned by living.

Some lessons can’t be taught.
Unless the teachers name is life.
Some lessons lead to bliss.
Some lead to strife.

There are mistakes once made,
That can’t be undone.
And many of life’s lessons,
Well, they're not very fun.

I could try and warn you,
And if you’d listen I would.
Wisdom is earned through experience.
If we only understood.
