You got to flaunt that gray hair!
It’s a sign of that wisdom you got.
Don’t be colorin’ it out with that
Brown, black or blondy look;
You’re too old to look young!
It’s that sagacity you want to boast,
So spew forth those words of wisdom
When the time is right to be heard.
(But wait ’til the inquisitors ask;
Don’t need to preach to those deaf by will:
Those folks who like to wander
And fall all over themselves.)
Be that light that is there when they turn you on,
And are ready to gain some knowledge.
Don’t matter if you’ve been to college.
Wisdom comes by the Word and living:
Learning to love and be forgiving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
