Wisdom

When I was just a child
I had all these questions about the world
These were of the simplest nature
Things that my parents would provide for me
And I never thought of not believing them
So I decided to call it trust

When I became a teenager
I opened my heart to a stranger
Even though I promised myself to her
She was not destined to be with me
There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t feel sorrow over it
So I decided to call it regret

When I became an adult
I started to be more and more on my own
There was the job I had to do everyday
And the bills I would have to take care of
This was the first time I did things all alone
So I decided to call it responsibility

When I became a husband
I was completely frightened about everything
Wishing for all her dreams to come true
Hoping I would be a good provider
But I knew that I wanted forever with her
So I decided to call it love

When I became a father
I starting worrying all the time
About the state of the house
Or the well being of the kids
They caused a mix of so many emotions all at once
So I decided to call it family

Eventually, when I got up there in years
It was then I decided it was time to sit and reflect
At that moment I realized that I had more questions now than ever before
And that I would die never knowing the answers
However, this seemed to be the solution to all I’d been struggling with
So I decided to call it wisdom
And with that, I became happy
