THE BENEFITS OF WISDOM

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.
