Elder's Jest:

Elders with wisdom bright,
In their stories, pure delight.
From years so grand to tales so fine,
Elders, divine.
In every word, a tale is spun,
Elders, under the sun.
With every thought, a joy we see,
Elders, wild and free.
In every lesson, a heart does cheer,
Elders, always near.
With every tale, a story told,
Elders, brave and bold.

Wisdom's Jest:

Elders with knowledge grand,
In their words, take a stand.
From history's light to future's call,
Elders, for all.
With every story, a tale we find,
Elders, gentle and kind.
In every lesson, a joy we see,
Elders, wild and free.

Trees

Wisdom’s Tree:

In the forest where elders stand,
Wisdom's tree, nature's hand.
Leaves of green, bark of gray,
Elders, in their way.
A symbol of strength, a sign of grace,
Elders, nature's embrace.
In their shade, stories told,
Elders, life's gold.
A guide so true, a light so clear,
Elders, ever near.
In their presence, peace is found,
Elders, all around.
Wisdom's tree, pure and bright,
Elders, in the light.
In their beauty, hearts take flight,
Elders, life's delight.
