Poem for 04/07/2013 — How Wise You Are

How Wise You Are

 
 
Now that you are old and wise
And age has opened up your eyes
Expound you can great sayings true
As sages who are wise like you.
your children full of all you know
No questions will they have to grow.
They say that wisdom comes with years
A price you paid with many tears.
And now for all the world to see
You forge your place in history.
Teach all the women, of any age
how they can earn an equal wage.
Present your case that you were meant
to even run the government.
Yes, now that you have learned it all
kick back and wait for them to call.
With all that packed in natural knowledge
you should at least be teaching college.
There is no subject beyond your scope
the world through you will fill with hope.
You know it all, you really do
now that you’ve reached twenty two.
