Sage and Salt

Just some things to remeber.

Sage and salt

Salt and sage

One gives us wisdom 

The other gives us age

Too much of one 

And just get old

Too much of the other

And we are just to bold

A little of both

Is what we need

Aged advice

That you should heed

For when we are ancient

And our lives assessed 

Our children will know

With which spice we were dressed

Oooh, I like it. I almost sang the first stanza, and I'm a big fan of short lines and short stanzas. I pictured a motherly figure wagging her finger while issuing this caution. I like the message too; wisdom tempered by worldly experience (at least that's how I see it).

Thank you. You are spot on. As I reach the half century mark I am able to look back with aged eyes.
