A Penance of Wisdom

   A penance of wisdom


Above the canopy of the endless sky
Brighter than shoots of evergreen peaks
Those noble ideals of your virtues lie
As the dazzling sparkle of laurels speaks

With a heart vast than the deepest seas 
 You strive to skim out priceless treasure
 For there's nothing that can appease
 As our prosperity is your only pleasure

Desparate gloom as the time presents
Yet stand tall by your conscience call
To illuminate our lives to lofty ascents
Unfazed and down by the callous fall

Lives blossom by your sheer presence 
For yours isn't a sojourn for elite stardom
But an era to preach this subtle essence
With your divine penance of wisdom
