Seniors Are A Treasure

Come near to the seniors,
For they have lived long
And gathered much wisdom.
Their insights are strong.

Hear what they speak.
Consider it well.
They’ll have good perspective
To help you excel.

They are not old-fashioned.
They’re “sharp as a tack”!
They’ve lived through hard times
But did not have lack.

They read through their Bibles
And worked hard each day.
They have great treasures
Of wisdom to weigh.

“The glory of young men is their strength, and the beauty of old men is their gray head (suggesting wisdom and experience).”
Proverbs 20:29 Amplified Bible
