A WISE MAN WILL GO THE EXTRA MILE
By Kenny Trujillo, Army
Writing Type: Poem
A
wise man will go the extra mile,
But a foolish man won't even smile.
The words of the righteous man give us life,
But the words of the ungodly man cause strife.
A God-fearing man will receive his reward,
But a foolish man stays without.
A wise man will go the extra mile,
But a foolish man won't even try.
A wise man is willing to lose a fight,
But a foolish man always thinks he's right.
A just man is ready for instruction,
But a prideful man is headed for destruction.
A wise man will go the extra mile,
But a foolish man won't even smile.
So put on a smile and do what's right,
And let's be like Paul and fight the good fight.
But a foolish man won't even smile.
The words of the righteous man give us life,
But the words of the ungodly man cause strife.
A God-fearing man will receive his reward,
But a foolish man stays without.
A wise man will go the extra mile,
But a foolish man won't even try.
A wise man is willing to lose a fight,
But a foolish man always thinks he's right.
A just man is ready for instruction,
But a prideful man is headed for destruction.
A wise man will go the extra mile,
But a foolish man won't even smile.
So put on a smile and do what's right,
And let's be like Paul and fight the good fight.
