MASTER DEGREE

I have little words of wisdom,   but experience I can share. In God's classroom of nature,   an education waits out there. I can't describe all the lessons   I've learned throughout my years. I'd suggest one listens closely,   while nature whispers on deaf ears. I can't tell one everything,   for I only have a single tongue. Experience is like a seedling,   as an aging growth ring of the young. I can't show one everything,   I have just a single pair of eyes. Experience is seeing the wisdom,   to sort the truth from lies. If it is truth and knowledge   a man seeks visiting on this earth, Than nature always remains honest,   wisely teaching natural worth. One often learns by doing,   sometimes fails by trial and error. But to learn from God and nature,   A Master Degree awaits one there.
