Good Tools For Life

Those who study to be wise,
And those who gather common sense
Are armed for any challenges
And move through life with confidence.

Some folks may be very smart
And educated in fine schools,
But “wisdom” overshadows “smart”
And gives us much more useful tools.

Common sense is practical,
And by experience it is earned.
Life will not be very easy
Until common sense is learned.

For wisdom we should make deep quest,
With common sense should be impressed.
These two things are basic tools
So we won’t fail and be as fools.

“Happy (blessed, fortunate, enviable) is the man who finds skillful and godly Wisdom, and the man who gets understanding (drawing it forth from God’s Word and life’s experiences).”
Proverbs 3:13 Amplified Bible
