True wisdom comes from experience.

Disconnect the past
The grown up little child
Taming all your greatness
You’ll turn out meek and mild
Your life is complicated
But you don’t know the truth
The pettiness is simple
Embedded in your youth
And soon I know you’ll see it
A world beyond your walls
Wisdom, faith, and patience
The badges of our falls

    The read has an easiness to it as the rhyme is wonderful. The message within about trials and effort creating results is clear and so to the point. Very well written. ~ Michael
