Pick Your Favorite Proverb

Hello, I thought it was time to have a contest with some of the points I was given by two wonderful poets. I thank you both.

What I want you to do is find your favorite proverb or any proverb and write a poem about it. I am listing a few of my favorites. You don't have to use them but if one of them inspires you by all means use it.

Proverb 23:24 The father of godly children has cause for joy. What a pleasure to have children who are wise.

Proverb 24:26 An honest answer is like a kiss of friendship.

Proverb 4:18 The way of the righteous is like the first gleam of dawn, which shines ever brighter until the full light of day.

Proverb 4:23 Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life.

Proverb 16:1 We can make our own plans, but the Lord gives the right answer.

Proverb 27:19 As a face is reflected in water, so the heart reflects the real person.

A few rules:

1. No Bashing God
2. No cursing or erotica
3. No chat talk
4. List proverb in author's notes
5. Have fun and God Bless you
