The Prophets Worth

The prophet is worth
Her weight in our gold
He is often courageous
She is often bold. 

The prophet is born 
With words in her mouth
Not a spoon but a message
God is coming soon.

The prophet is often either 
Hailed or rejected
He is often either
Adored or disrespected

Some prophets are humble
Others are not
Prophecy is more popular today 
With the promises of blessings and whatnot

The prophet is first formed
In her mother’s womb
He often starts in his gifting a young age
And the words continue to linger 
Even after they’ve spent time in the tomb

When a good prophet speaks
The lay members should listen
The best gift is to just believe
So that you can receive
From the Lord!!
