A Touch Of Wisdom

 “The Little Boy and the Old Man

Said the little boy, "Sometimes I drop my spoon."
Said the old man, "I do that too."
The little boy whispered, "I wet my pants."
I do that too," laughed the little old man.
Said the little boy, "I often cry."
The old man nodded, "So do I."
But worst of all," said the boy, "it seems
Grown-ups don't pay attention to me."
And he felt the warmth of a wrinkled old hand.
I know what you mean," said the little old man.”

― Shel Silverstein (1930 - 1999) (Writer, playwright, poet, cartoonist, songwriter) (His books have been translated into 30 languages and have sold 20 million copies)
