A Word To the Future Ii

The glory of a king
Is his power and authority
The shame of the poor
Is his poverty

The riches of the rich
Makes him a master
So is the love
Of a good woman 
Makes her a good mother

What gives the servant
His or her freedom
Is his wisdom

Life is like a mirror
It shows the reflection
Of our action
So take caution
