Just One Chance
Wisdom is a gift to the mind,
a gift that comes only to one of a kind.
If you dont care to use this gift right,
the time left for your wisdom is on a string held tight.
The string is held tight, ready to snap,
all it will take is the tiniest rap
and you will fall down wondering what you did wrong.
Then the realization will strike like the boom of a gong.
You will cry, you will plead to have wisdom again,
to have just one more chance to, with knowledge, begin.
But soon you will find, that you may not,
you may not try again because you forgot
that wisdom is special. You should use it with care,
use it right because there is none to spare.
