Following a path and wisdom earned, going headstrong towards <br /> the future with confidence of what’s been learned. Loved and lost, <br /> with many costs, there’s nothing left to hurt inside. With nothing new <br /> under the sun comes another love that must be won. With false shields <br /> guarding the heart, plunging in feet first forgetting the painful part. <br /> Laying upon the alter yet another sacrifice is made, hoping upon hopes <br /> the price not to high paid. <br /> <br /> Wide eyed and blissful ignorant as a child, the wager is upon the table <br /> will it all be worth wild? Time marches on and dreams begin to die, <br /> prayers are said diligently and sent to the sky. Promises are broken, faith begins <br /> to wane, fears from the past begin to infect the wounds again. <br /> But what of the fairytale endings and glass slippers and such, <br /> the mind begins to reel, the truth has proven to much. <br /> What of what was yearned, what of Wisdom Learned? <br /> <br /><br />Pam Thomas<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/wisdom-learned/
