Nuggets Of Gold

We cannot buy wisdom, nor will it be sold.
It's nuggets of gold, which never grow old,
Are learned from experience and reading the Word.
Without it life's issues may sadly get blurred.

Young folks may wonder why old folks are "staid".
The old folks remember mistakes they have made.
They have learned well that wisdom and prayer
Save many a headache and many an error.

When we have wisdom we won't go astray.
Wisdom will guard us and keep us each day.
Wisdom is gold which never grows old...
A standard to cherish, to live by and hold.

"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding."
Proverbs 9:10-11 KJV

"If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him."
James 1:5 KJV
