"Tender Mercies" by Debbie Kingston-Baker

CALLOW

Youth, by its very nature,
is callow

As Life goes on and
experiences occur,

one should endeavor
not to remain uninformed
or shallow;

rather, build upon the
happenings of Time
and become a better
person, a little deeper,
a little gentler,
a little less bitter,
a little more open of mind.

Learning never ends -
cultivate kind friends
and realize that each
experience is a bit of Life

whether in Peace, or a
period of strife and war;
use experience
to make things better
than they were before.
