Richard Palmer Poet Verse

Wisdom and Understanding

I prayed,I prayed,
Almighty God,
Wisdom I need,
I believed,
Had no doubt,
And wisdom was,
Handed down indeed,
Wisdom was lonely,
So I went back to Him,
And this time He bestowed,
Understanding,
Wisdom and understanding,
Roll hand in hand,
One the idea,
The other the plan,
A little greedy,
I am back again,
I need expression,
So I can express,
Wisdom and understanding,
To my family and friends....
