The Noblest Career
James 3: 12 and Proverbs 15:1 have been paraphrased here in the following
poem. You are invited, dear reader, to kindly read those Bible verses before or
after reading this poem.
Teaching might be the noblest career;
But it has its dangers, in its rear.
Saint James warned us about this great trend,
That we might not fall before and bend
To worship some regretful mistake.
“How can the same source of water take
Pure sweet water and make it bitter? ”
In slanders every single letter
Causes the fire of hatred to grow;
But a kind answer frees and lets go!
For teaching is the noblest career;
But it has its danger, in its rear.
