What do you think gets better with age? – (Daily Prompt)
The thing that gets better is hindsight
It’s better looking back.
You see the things you should have done
And wish you’d done them then.
You miss what you took for granted
And thought would always last
Appreciate them better
Now they‘re in the past.
The young think age brings wisdom
But we learn by getting it wrong
They can’t learn from our mistakes
They have to make their own.
We wish we could start over
But it won’t come round again
Looking back it falls into place
You can see what you didn‘t see then.
Oh the power of hindsight
Hindsight‘s a wonderful thing
No point being wise after events
If you couldn’t be wise back then.
