Wisdom

Wisdom 
Joyfully loves.
Shows forth intelligence. 
Delightfully treats others well. 
Is kind.

Bestows 
Understanding.
Forgives when offended.
Uses good judgment in all things. 
Befriends. 

Gives hope.
Makes right-choices. 
Strives to improve the soul. 
Remembers righteous teachings.
Endures.
