Where lies wisdom if not in experiences of self and others?
One can have knowledge but still not be wise.
Learn from mother, Learn from son, learn from self,
and learn from others, read books to self and others.
Spread words of enlightenment and meaning.
To read and learn is giving, endorsed it should be.
Not merely are books for queens carrying crowns,
but for us all, no matter birthright.
So take a book and wander, experience and think!
For man has but a short lifetime which ends all too soon.
