Wisdom has no age, I have seen younger souls.
With more credibility, then all those older hearts.
I have seen adolescence, cradle older minds.
When aging bodies, ask for youths helping hand.
Wisdom is dying, not necessarily living.
Living those dreams, regardless of restraints.
Now! that is wisdom, that is truth to be told.
Whether a hot birth, or a end far colder and bold.
Youthfulness is the nemesis of the known world.
So many answers spoken, so many questions heard.
Can youth be spared, by the sacrifice of age?
Who turns the page, so those chapters may be told.
Wisdom has no age, youth and the aged are alike, in every single way.
Author notes
Wisdom doesn't necessarily come with age. Sometimes age just shows up all by itself. ~Tom Wilson

Thank You!
Thank You for Your entry: youth and the aged are alike, in every single way.
This piece tugged hard at Spirit and after reading several times ~
I'm Honored also Humbled You took the time to pen for Heavenly Angel's contest
You took the prompt and brought forth much for the Mind to feast upon~
Bravo!! When I digest words written, images come through that grab hard~
Woven Strengths: While reading Your words I kept being shown much
substance also shown the periods which stopped me while I was feasting
on Your words...For example the first sentence has its flow and then a period
which is fine but the second sentence *With*...could have continued the
thought and the period would basically not be needed
Wisdom has no age, I have seen younger souls
with more credibility then all those older hearts.
It appears each line starts in a Capital which is fine...
so the *w* in *with* would read *With*
And same with-
I have seen adolescence, cradle older minds.
When aging bodies, ask for youths helping hand.
The *When* is telling me there is more to the story
I have seen adolescence cradle older minds
when aging bodies ask for youths helping hand.
But the period after *minds* stopped me...
I'm just forwarding what I was getting re: Energy flow and how the punctuation
in certain places became a bridge or a blockade for that Energy
Commas are Beautiful- I use them all the time...
for me they are like places to take a breath~
You may not need as many commas in Your piece...It speaks
Wonderfully without some of them
These are mere suggestions and I don't want to take away from the Message
or Meaning of what You are trying to convey~
For me- each word, punctuation etc- brings forth images and it would only be
fair if I mention~ because this is anonymous...I have to make mention in
my comment - Sorry
I'm not the greatest speller or English major but if I
have to stop - I like to know why and will speak up
You make Excellent points~ and I am shown how each one can be absorbed
where the Reader can feel satiated I learn something new each day
However that is to be Interpreted
Love the direction You took with this prompt
Hopefully my comment to Your write makes sense
Powerful verse and message You have brought forth
These words grabbed and pulled~
Wisdom has no age, I have seen younger souls.
With more credibility, then all those older hearts.
Vivid Imagery poured in these lines...
Thank You for sharing Your Talent also Voice
also best wishes to You in the contest Sweet Soul
Many blessings too 
with much love and light~ Desire~*~

Liked this line:
Youthfulness is the nemesis of the known world.
There was a report from America the other day that only 1 in 4 school aged kids in Louisiana knew who America's First President was. Hell, I'll bet 9 of 10 school aged kids in Communist China know that answer!
