Wisdom

WISDOM

Our family was raised,
Knowing and loving God.
The many things about Him,
We never thought it odd.

God referred to Wisdom,
In Proverbs as "She".
Blessed is the one who finds it,
A promise to you and me.

Now Solomon was selected,
As Wisdom's special man.
His biblical understanding,
Measureless as the sand.

Common sense we re told,
Leads one to be wise.
Perhaps in an uncommon degree,
Does wisdom come in a different size?

God grants men wisdom,
It is yours for free.
One must work for this treasure,
Pick the fruit from the tree.

All the knowledge of ages past,
If printed in a book.
Are condensed in The Bible,
Why not take a look.

An active life,
Sows wisdom's seed.
Be ready for the harvest,
It is valuable indeed.

I have a special message,
Describing wisdom just for you.
First, know what is false,
Then know what is true.
