This poem reflects on wisdom, growth, and resilience. It likens life to a book and wisdom to a tree, grounded in struggles and fed by joys and sorrows. The verses highlight that true knowledge comes from lived experiences rather than just words.

It ends on a hopeful note, emphasizing that life is the best teacher, with its lessons deeply embedded in every heart.

# The Tree of Wisdom #

Within the pages of an open book,
A tree of wisdom .. quietly took.
Its roots sank deep in trials and pain,
Its leaves were formed by loss and gain.

Each chapter holds a test of will,
Each line invites the heart to still.
Through joy and sorrow, laughter, tears,
It blossomed strong across the years.

Knowledge written, yet seldom seen,
Lives not in words, but what they mean.
For life’s true lessons, bold and bright,
Are born in darkness, seeking light.

The Book may close, the story remains,
A tree of hope through loss and gains.
In every heart, its roots have to extend,
Life’s greatest teacher — till the end.
