WHAT HE TOLD ME

* He spoke in parables; I did my best to understand 

He's words where uncountable; I grabbed as much as I can hold 

He's words swung in like a pebble; and the sound rang deep in my head

He's words sounded so acceptable; which I locked in the safe of my heart 

* All desires never come to actualisation; this was what he told me 

Only let important desires occupy your ambition 

And allow those who have actualised that ambition be your motivation 

Subtle words; yet not beyond my comprehension 

* Never let a cunning man bury you; because it also shows you are a cunning man 

He never wanted me dead before him; because he plans to live long 

Rather he wanted me to be straight forward in my dealings so I can live longer than he will

Subtle words; Yet not beyond my comprehension

* His words seems to be stronger than his appearance 

What I could see couldn't have given his words any relevance 

But he said son; appearance could be deluding as strength is not measured in built

But words are concluding because there lays the strength of a man; for he is made and destroyed by it

* What he told me shows he's wise 

He taught me wisdom despite my tender size

He has always prepared me for the feature even if I didn't realize 

And now am going to take these words till it spreads far and wide
