Back when I was young: <br /> <br />Is God the ornery rascal <br />Who dailies with our dreams, <br />And gives us what we need, <br />Whatever it might seem. <br /> <br />And now that I am older: <br /> <br />I thank God every day <br />That in his wisdom vaunted, <br />He gave me what I needed- <br />And never what I wanted.<br /><br />Patti Masterman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-difference-between-age-and-wisdom/
