Poverty ... riches ... perception
Psalm 41:1
For the music director; a psalm of David.
1 How blessed is the one who treats the poor properly!
When trouble comes, the Lord delivers him.
Poverty a blessing … poverty a curse?
Poverty a state of heart … poverty rehearsed?
Poverty an opportunity … as poverty is nursed
Poverty a part of life … poverty invites the hearse
Riches a treasure … riches more a farce
Riches a handicap … riches oh so sparse
Riches to be measured … riches below par
Riches loss of pleasure … riches’ price too far
Wisdom a difference … wisdom sparks truth
Wisdom has no blindness … wisdom has the clues
Wisdom fulfills hunger … wisdom always true
Wisdom builds on kindness … wisdom could be you
Jan Wienen
