Five senses +

Listen to your elders:  

Their words are true and wise;



Look into their faces  

They wear no false disguise.



Reach out and hold a hand;  

They are there to guide you.



Drink from their cup of life--  

Enjoy it as they do;



Breathe in this richly smell,

So strong and so intense,  



But let us not forget  

To add some common sense!

I completely agree with everything you say here. So many disregard elders when they could learn from them..
