Asked me, my Lil girl, "when wise will I become".
Told her I, "easy it is not, wait for time some.
Darling, difference there is between knowledge n wisdom.
To many, even after years, wisdom doesn't easily come."

Hear n listen we all can, but understand only some.
See objects we all, but only see its meaning deep, some.
Intelligent if you are, knowledge, to you may easily come;
But understanding n wisdom comes only to some.

Patience, calmness, perseverance, a vision wide needs one; n when to keep mum.
The wise swear or smoke not; gluttony is a no; drink do not they ***.
Learn to overcome you must, greed, pride, ego, anger, selfishness some.
Stay unperturbed n calm in circumstances all; that will make you wise n awesome.
