Poem

Take me wisdom


Advice can make one wise
And wisdom many people rich
Silence more than ado can teach
And from shadow may jerk sunrise
Learn many things but acquire one thing
Knowledge is only a grain
Compared to love ,which is law's end
Useful to be always God's friend

Time and age make beauty old
But the heart stays young forever even fold
Search to progress in life and grow
But always pay all that you did borrow
Be happy whoever you are and are not
Be happy whatever you have and have not
For joy does not come from gold
But all comes from God
Be happy wherever you are
Even though the light seems so far


Let no doubt be obsession
No possession can bring redemption
What you love best kills you most
For our body likes what murders our ghost
Glory is what God sees,to Him belongs the truth
Bliss is what you are ,not what you have
When we record it in heart and brain
Even death will be a gain

We believe more in what we see
Than in what we hear
But faith is stronger than vision
Witout it life is just an illusion

Whatever happens in your life, believe
As long as you breathe
In your ultimate goal
Where is due to be enriched your soul
For you may die with
The love you were born with
Free and holy
