Last bit of wisdom

The last bit of wisdom
Dawned on the day
The roses were crushed
And the lilies trampled

Life is not about springs
Not all the time
Bitter cold winters
Are also to be sampled

Some journeys are alone
On long lonely roads
Dreams can be broken
Life can be rumpled

The last bit of wisdom
Dawned on the day
Roses were crushed
and winters sampled
