A True Saying (From Proverbs 2) Poem by Wale Adekoya

My son if thou wilt
Receive of my words
And hide my commandments within thee
That thou seekest wisdom
As silver or gold
And apply thine heart unto this wholly

Then shall thou know
The fear of the Lord
And find out true knowledge of God
For out of His mouth
Cometh knowledge of life
And sound wisdom is hid in His word

When wisdom doth dwell
And abide in thine heart
And thou hast obeyed His commanding
He'll add to thee life
Discretion and peace
And of judgement, a good understanding
