A Shard of Wisdom

If I could have

A piece of wisdom--

Even the tiniest shard;

And if I could know

What is to come,

Oh, what I would give!

To be able to take

That shard, that piece,

And tuck it safely away

In the darkest corner

Of my mind, and

Only pull it out

When I am full of

Hurt, or doubt--

To know that I

Will be alright

No matter how

Life turns or twists

In unexpected ways.
