Ojos Sabios:
The old man claimed his vision was bad
But this ol’ guy didn’t know what he had
Sure, long lived eyes may not see the world well
Details close and afar are hard to tell
His vision has worsened or so he thinks
He forgot his vision that has no blinks
His eyes see more than the younger can
Wisdom corrects vision over the life’s span
Wise eyes see outward by first seeing in
Enhancing optics with knowledge over and again
The worn, weary eyes may distort some light
But precision and focus shine from insight
His vision has merits, with eyes working retired
Wise eyes peer keenly even if physically expired
Such wise words from eyes so young!

A sonnet? You know, I’m impressed
At the form and the thoughts you’ve expressed
For a poetry rule
Turns the word to a jewel
With which your ideas get dressed.

Occhi saggi
Il vecchio sosteneva che la sua visione era cattiva
Ma questo vecchio ragazzo non sapeva cosa avesse
Certo, gli occhi vissuti a lungo potrebbero non vedere bene il mondo
I dettagli vicini e lontani sono difficili da dire
La sua visione è peggiorata o almeno così pensa
Ha dimenticato la sua visione che non batte le palpebre
I suoi occhi vedono più della lattina più giovane
La saggezza corregge la visione per tutta la vita
Gli occhi saggi vedono esteriormente vedendo prima dentro
Migliora l’ottica con la conoscenza di nuovo
Gli occhi logori e stanchi possono distorcere la luce
La precisione e l’attenzione brillano dall’intuizione
La sua visione ha dei meriti, stanno lavorando in pensione
Gli occhi saggi sono visivamente anche se scaduti
greetings from Italy!

Love this! ❤️ The years can help us see things better than those who can see things better…
