Experience alone, does not make us wise,
For age and years, do not guarantee the prize.
It's how we react, to life's every test,
That shapes our soul, and puts us to the best.

Reflection's mirror, shows our inner face,
Helping us grow, in time and space.
Through trials and falls, we rise anew,
Awareness born, of what we once knew.

Experience teaches, but doesn't transform,
Until we reflect, and confront our norm.
It's not the years, that make us whole,
But wisdom gained, from our soul.

With every step, and every fall,
We choose to rise, or lose it all.
Reaction's power, keeps harm at bay,
And reflection's light, shows us the way.

As age advances, and wisdom grows,
We balance our steps, with mindful knows.
Experience's lessons, now clearly seen,
Guide us forward, like a beacon serene.
