Leave your simple ways, and live,
and walk in the way of insight.
Proverbs 9:6
Beside her seven pillared home
Lady Wisdom extends her hands
inviting all to understand
a feast at her table to eat
to all people she offers a seat
so that the simple need no more roam
The Woman Folly is whorishly loud
offering nothing, she seduces
but her way to ruin reduces
in her house or on the street
she sashays to a seductive beat
winning over the stupid, sinful, and proud
Lady Wisdom offers the only way to live
infinite resources within her holy dwelling
pointing to her Creator most compelling
her hands outstretched offer a true embrace
all who love her find great grace
real life and light is hers to give
Turn from Folly seen everywhere
and find shelter in Wisdom’s invitation
peace for your soul and eternal salvation
Lady Wisdom is God’s gift of grace
she cries out to all of the human race
“Come and find freedom in my care!”
