Ode to an Old Wise Man
I’m standing strong
Even though it’s not the way it once was.
Now I’m fighting for the answers to stay complete.
Even though challenges may seem insurmountable
I march forward, with my eyes and mind staring at the prize.
Even though being judged
I don’t question.
Because, if you don’t know
You must find out
And if you do know
There’s no need to contest
So it’s said
Wisdom is something, which finds you in your travels in life.
And it’s not a concept you can buy or demand.
But just the same
It’s you who figures it out.
So still believe in yourself
Even though you’re questioned.
And never stand down
When you know you need to stand up.
I’m just saying,
Deryo
