Wisdom

                    I've seen this before,
                I recognize this pattern.
                Everywhere you go,
                  people and events aren't all that different.
                I don't feel like I've lived so long
                  but I've seen a lot; enough.

                Enough to know that I didn't know
                  what I was doing for the first fifty years.
                Enough to recognize the ones 
                  who are sinking into the same pit where I was.
                Enough to learn that all that matters now
                   is to come to Him with the faith of a child...
                              for the next fifty years.
