The Foundation of True Wisdom and Compassion #1573

The Foundation of True Wisdom and Compassion In Job's words, a cry for truth, Sarcasm cloaks his pain. Friends offer counsel, hollow, aloof, Their words, an empty gain. Genuine support, rare and dear, A heart that truly knows. Empathy’s voice, sincere and clear, In such wisdom, true love grows. Jesus speaks of a house well-built, On rock, its firm foundation. Life’s floods may come, but never tilt, Strong in its dedication. Leaders, heed the sacred call, With integrity, lead the way. For those who cause the least to fall, A heavy price to pay. Guard your heart with diligent care, For from it springs all life. Pure and kind, beyond compare, In peace, not in strife. Today, we strive for empathy, To understand, to truly see. With wisdom, lead responsibly, In love, let hearts be free. Build your life on compassion’s ground, In every role, in every place. Let true wisdom be found, In the light of grace.
