The wisdom of the old
Often conquers over
The impetuousness of the young,
The careful considered approach
Over the overeager jump right in attitude
Often sees the old triumph over the new.
Old versus young

This is so true! Makes me think of the saying “Before I was wise, I was stupid”. Lol. Of course, I sadly know a few old timers in my personal life who could benefit from this poem. It seems they never grew past the age of 16. lol. Awesome words, my friend. 👏🏼☺️
