I can only say you have accomplished both poetic goals you cite you chronicle the humble things around you AND dispense the sage's wisdom. But what really strikes me with a kind of awe is the perfection of form this poem embodies. Everything is contained within the four lines if each stanza, nothing is rushed or slighted, the formal balance makes all things precious and pleasing.. Its similar to the perfection of form which contains Lewis Carroll's nonsense verse. But your stanzas contain both common place truths and wise things.
