I am weary of my wisdom
Like the bee that hath gathered too much honey
Lots of laughter and weeping in my album
The quilt of life is growing with glee
Nothing can shock me as I’ve seen them all
There are still spices that give me some lift
Perhaps I just need to wrap myself with a shawl
Having my wits around is definitely a gift
The songs of the birds still amaze me
The twinkles of the stars are wonderful
I still enjoy having a nice cup of tea
Really grateful that I’m still able

Birds, stars and a cup of tea – the very best things to still be able to enjoy – i love the concept of your title also..sometimes what we know can all seem a bit too much

This is the answer, to be satisfied with the simple things in life. Perhaps the wisdom is not amassing even more information but just enjoying what you can.

you’ve turned the collage into a shawl of wisdom for life’s simple pleasures but given it that one line that does not permit complacency : “There are still spices that give me some lift”
