The Passing Years... Poem by Lungelo Mpatho

The Passing Years...

Rating: 4.8


The passing years bring about experience
With experience comes a little understanding
Learning to speak less when we mean less
And to mean more in minimum words
Touchable words to name the simple things
A hard stone, a true love, a wise man….
A true stone, a hard man, or to love wisely-

We should all learn from our mistakes, growing older should always be fun and like you say say our experience then tells us what to do. Bob

Lungelo, parsimonious use of words to great effect indeed. Saying more with less is a sign of poetic greatness. Rgds, Ivan
