Lessons
Learning won't stop
After uni, college or school
You may reach the top
Yet still feel a fool
For each day
Brings new teachers
In many a disguise
Though sadness
Will feature
In the end
You'll be wise
We're all learning
Lessons
Just not in a class
We find outÂ
The best things
From our days
As they pass

Ruth,
Another first rate poem which exudes wisdom. You are right to say that learning is an ongoing process which never stops. Not even college or university can satisfactorily achieve all we need to know but they provide a good idea as to how to learn. Winston Churchill who never went to university and regularly received poor school reports when a boy, became the winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature and painted over 500 paintings during his life time. He was a skilled orator and statesman but academically deemed as being not too bright.
There is a place called the University of Life of which we are all members providing we are willing to learn.
Thank you for this
Keith
