The Benefits of Wisdom
Proverbs 4:4 "Listen to what your father teaches you, my sons.
Pay attention, and you will have understanding.
What I am teaching you is good, so remember it all.
When I was only a little boy, my parents' only son, my father would teach me.
He would say, "Remember what I say and never forget it.
Do as I tell you, and you will live."
Like Father, Like Son
I have followed in your footsteps,
you have taught me many things,
shown me many more.
Like, what it was to be a caring son,
takes to be a devoted father,
means to be a loving grandfather.
I will never forget all you taught me,
always treasure what you have shown me.
In life, it is less important what you are,
than what you become.
If I can become, as caring a son,
devoted a father, loving a grandfather,
It will be your legacy I keep.
