A tribute to the Wisdom of the world. Particularly my grandparents. polished!

One borne                                                                                                  from wisdom

Bent and tired yet standing tall.

Brown skin laced in echoes                                        of laugher, tears, and defiance

Swollen hands steady the pathway                                                  for our generation

Heart pumps retisent endurance

Wisdom

Fulcrum

Fit to take on the world.

         Or sweet tea and Sam Cooke
