A CAMEO APPEARANCE
We are all but cameo appearances.
First, a small baby just out of the womb
Then, a small child learning everything for the first time
As the seasons change
We go to school
Then graduation
We enter the school of life
And continue to enroll into
Deeper and deeper learning
When asked about the biggest lesson
We find it hard to say
As each has its own difficulty
Now we are old
We clutch the bag of wisdom
Keep it close
Did we pay close attention?
If so, why do we often feel at a loss?
Struggle for the right answer
Every word is so true from the first line to the final.

It's so important to live a life of 'awareness' from the very beginning, from our dawn yet the 'bag of wisdom' will only come after experiences. Sigh.
I really enjoyed your perspective! What a unique take on the prompt. Clever and true.
ReplyDelete"Did we pay close attention?" Love how all the cameos add up to this challenging question.
