Early Age Training Seminar - Proverbs 22: 6

In an age of great techniques aplenty
there is one that’s many centuries old
for this one is so full of godly wisdom
take it on learn well what has been told

The Bible’s book of godly wisdom
in Proverbs chapter 22 verse six
it tells how a child be taught well
keeping them in wisdom no quick fix

This early age training seminar
thought out long ago at early source
establishing a child in the essentials
so If practiced will make real force

This is indeed a divine remedy
set in place before needing a cure
God’s prescription always correct
so life is workable you can be sure

When this is set early in place
won’t be forgotten but take root
in later years be truly thankful
if kept to it’ll surely bear fruit

("Train up a child in the way he should go:  and when he is old, he will not depart from it."  Proverbs. 22:6 )
