Wise Counsel

there is more than one way
of doing most things
often a little forethought
can resolve problems
provide better solutions
more favourable alternatives

a little planning good will
goes a long way
sometimes it is better
to think before we act
the teacher taught models
of favourable solutions

when the teacher walked
among us you did not listen
when the teacher left words
of wisdom you did not read them
when will you decide
to listen follow wise counsel?
