The Elder Tree’s Wisdom



We forget the fruit of thorough action, which this tree bears.
The, old gnarled trees are taken for granted, ignored.
Without the growth of wisdom the world would be misguided, uprooted, and lonely.

Some argue about the tree’s thoughts, ideas, and knowledge.
Like knowledge, the old trees are scattered around town.
Without the growth of wisdom the world would be misguided, uprooted, and lonely.

Young saplings crowd each other, competing for the sun.
Wisdom only grows high up, anchored and supported by ancient roots.
Without the growth of wisdom the world would be misguided, uprooted, and lonely.
