Wisdom

I sought for wisdom
It brought me trials.
Through the trials,
I gained knowledge.
With knowledge
I was taught
The fear of the Lord.
In the fear of the Lord,
It gained me understanding.
Within understanding,
It gained me blessing.
Blessed is he who seeks
And attains wisdom.
 In wisdom
Man will become
The very essence,
Of God own heart.
Wisdom is a gift
From God to man.
