The Other Side of Learning My Lesson

I am no longer truly young.
I can only remember a louder confidence,
The child of ignorance and arrogance,
That assured my doings could be done
What have I forgotten in learning my lessons–
and what's not yet forgotten, but some day will be?
How will accident and failing further humble me?
I imagine that once I'm forty or fifty,
Nothing at all will ever seem easy.
