ON PROVERBS 1<o:p></o:p>

 A wise man listens and learns more still,<o:p></o:p>

Though sometimes he must submit his will,<o:p></o:p>

To those who have been there before,<o:p></o:p>

And share their experience and the law.<o:p></o:p>

 Wisdom is not found all in books,<o:p></o:p>

Nor is it hidden in crevices or nooks,<o:p></o:p>

But it is in reverence and love for God,<o:p></o:p>

That which is despised by the foolish clod.<o:p></o:p>

 Love the teachings of mum and dad,<o:p></o:p>

For they give to you the experience that they have had,<o:p></o:p>

Do not be tempted by men of evil,<o:p></o:p>

Nor from work for your hands must you shrivel.<o:p></o:p>

 Wisdom calls from many places,<o:p></o:p>

And he who hears him makes home bases,<o:p></o:p>

But he who ignores our risen Lord,<o:p></o:p>

Will be destroyed by that two edged sword.<o:p></o:p>
