Wisdom is worth waiting for.
We know it’s so when we look back.
Some things take time.
Since that is where the meaning lies,
Japanese aprise the cracks.
Wisdom is worth waiting for.
What is worn is what they prize.
They do not dwell on what things lack.
Some things take time.
Although the surface can belie,
true worth is what is in the back.
Wisdom is worth waiting for.
Often questions can arise
when starting on a different tack.
Some things take time.
But how is it that we surmise,
when from the summit we look back,
that wisdom was worth waiting for?
Some things take time.
