I'm willing to learn <br />and longing to see <br />wanting to hear <br />what's inside of me <br /> <br />Youth needn't be imprudent <br />nor is old always so wise <br />It’s what we learn now <br />that's what I surmise <br /> <br />Mistakes to linger <br />deep in our mind <br />how we sort them <br />might make us blind <br /> <br />Fools we can truly be <br />when pride makes us fall <br />but not if we look inside <br />and break down that wall<br /><br />Sheldon Moore<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-wall-of-pride/
