Youth is not Wasted on the Young



Youth is not wasted on the young.

Age and wisdom are paradoxically symbiotic.
If we were wiser when younger,
We would not make mistakes
Required for learning wisdom.

And if we could regain youth
During our later years,
Exuberance would overwhelm common sense
And we could no longer see the world
Through Wise Eyes.
