A good name is more,
Than having great wealth;
Or eagles that soar,
That is in good health.
Respect is better,
Than silver or gold;
But a regretter,
Of being too bold.
The rich and the poor,
Have something they share;
They were both born pure,
But one takes a dare.
The Lord is maker,
And creates them all;
Giver or taker,
One of them will fall.
Sensible people,
Will foresee trouble;
And will not stumble,
And lay in the rubble.
But some are naive,
Will go and suffer;
And cannot achieve,
Since life is tougher.
For humility,
Should not be ignored;
Gives ability,
In fearing the Lord.
Treasured honor in life,
Look what lies in wait;
Snares that causes strife,
Easily seals fate.
You have thorns and traps,
That are in your path;
The ones taking naps,
Will feel the fierce wrath.
Guard yourself to stay,
Far from traps and snares;
So that you turn away,
From the risks and dares.
