Wisdom
Wisdom is a charm that I wear closely around my neck
I hold it firmly and study it when I feel challenged by the day's events
I understand from Whom I have received this gift
He delivers unto me each deep breath
I inhale and savor the air I breathe
And slowly discover that I am nothing without the wisdom of God
Wisdom is a cavern
It goes on forever and ever
If you yell loud enough an echo will emerge and fill your heart
Telling you things that you never dreamed of
Wisdom is a pearl
It cannot be found unless you are meant to find it
It must then be polished and placed in a special container
Because the world will take it and it will lose its luster
It is not meant to be mishandled
It is meant to be cared for with the rest of the delicate things
Wisdom is found only through the guidance of our Creator
It is a gift and is not to be taken for granted
He chooses carefully who He delivers it to
Often times we wait until it's way overdue
Sometimes He hand delivers it
Wisdom.
