Wisdom

Thanks very much to Jennifer O'Callaghan, who e-mailed me this song.

God gave the wise men their wisdom

And to the poets their dreams

To father and mother their love for each other

But he left me out, so it seems

I wandered around broken-hearted

Thinking life was an empty affair

But when God gave me you, it was then that I knew

He had given me more than my share.

Thanks to Laura Wiles and Jane Hataway, who both sent me in these extra verses.

With someone like a you, a love so sweet and true

l'd like to leave it all behind

And go and find a place that’s known to God alone

Just a spot to call our own

We’ll find a perfect peace where joys never cease

Somewhere beneath the starry, starry sky just you and I.

We’ll build a sweet little nest somewhere out in the west

And let the rest of the world go by.
