Smart
Intelligence is in the book of life
Knowledge is found in living
Learning is heard from elders
Gaining is acquired from experience.
Possessions are not always seen
Feelings are sometimes felt for another.
Warmth is not heat.
Comfort is known early
Tenderness is comforting
Caring is selflessness
knowing is internal
Reflectiveness is picturesque
Thinking is pondering
Silence is provoking
excitement is changing
Wondering is anticipation
Resting is refreshing

Lovely poem. Thanks for sharing.

Well done! "Gaining is acquired from experience" Perfect line. How often do we want to "gain" before it is time to do so?
A lot to think about...
Very good words of wisdom. It helps put things into perspective!! I look forward to seeing more.
Great work. So how come we often refuse to learn from others' mistakes? LOL.
My favorite line is "Possessions are not always seen." Wonderful poem :)
