Jean de dieu Nikiema, West Africa
Take me wisdom
Advice can make one wiseAnd wisdom many people richSilence more than ado can teachAnd from shadow may jerk sunriseLearn many things but acquire one thing Knowledge is only a grain Compared to love ,which is law's endUseful to be always God's friendTime and age make beauty oldBut the heart stays young forever even foldSearch to progress in life and grow But always pay all that you did borrow Be happy whoever you are and are notBe happy whatever you have and have notFor joy does not come from goldBut all comes from GodBe happy wherever you areEven though the light seems so farLet no doubt be obsessionNo possession can bring redemptionWhat you love best kills you mostFor our body likes what murders our ghostGlory is what God sees,to Him belongs the truth Bliss is what you are ,not what you haveWhen we record it in heart and brainEven death will be a gain We believe more in what we seeThan in what we hearBut faith is stronger than visionWitout it life is just an illusionWhatever happens in your life, believeAs long as you breathe In your ultimate goalWhere is due to be enriched your soulFor you may die withThe love you were born with Free and holy
