Oh wisdom why dost thou flee?

Leaving me without a response

To the evils that beset me

And knowing I have no answer.

 

Let the tides toss me onto the shore

Where memories have lain unresolved.

Drive away the shadows of gloom

Let them drift never to return.

 

I will dance a Paddy's gig,

Knowing I have conquered the beast.

Then in the heavens I shall wander,

Searching for the wonderment of God.

I really like this one because it is quite philosophical and wise. Lately I've found that my best laid plans tend to fall through because I didn't use my better judgment. It is as though I've return to teenage folly rather than wise old age. ;-)
