Poem on Proverbs 4:20-22

Stanza 1
Listen closely to His words,
Let them sink deep within,
Do not let them slip away,
Hold them like treasure in your heart,
For they are life to the soul.

Stanza 2
His wisdom is healing,
It strengthens the weary bones,
It restores the broken spirit,
It leads the way of peace,
And guards against the snares of the world.

Stanza 3
Those who meditate on His truth,
Will find strength in every trial,
For His words are not just spoken,
But breathed out with power,
To revive, renew, and sustain.

Stanza 4
So keep them before your eyes,
Let them guide your every step,
For they are health to your body,
They are light to your path,
And they lead to everlasting life.
