Humble Advice


Proverbs 27:1-7

Do not be boastful of tomorrow,
It is unknown what it may bring;
Since it could be full of sorrow,
In losing all then have nothing.

Let another one give you praise,
Rather than some on your own;
The sound of it is sweeter always,
In coming from another throne.

The wrath of the foolish is great,
Its anger is like a flooded stream;
Such a burden of so much weight,
Creating a nightmare from a dream.

It is much better to openly protest,
Than to have love be kept a secret;
Others will understand your quest,
No need for later to have any regret.

So my friend, life can be so sweet,
If you just put into some thought;
Being humble instead of the elite,
And going to where God is sought.
