Welcome back to Poetry Monday. For those of us who are still in search of the meaning in our lives, this poem speaks volumes.
in youth our ignorance gives us courage
with age our courage gives us hope
with hope we learn that man is more
than the sum of what he does
we also are what we wish we did
and age teaches us
that even that doesn’t matter.
Thanks for sharing from one of my favorite poets, although I can’t quite recall this one, lol.
I always knew you had good taste 🙂
Very nice.
A German poet once said:
“What a person makes of himself is what he is.” – Adolph Kolping (1813-1865)
Jorge, keep safe and well…
