Bees Worth Hiving – Poem

B patient, B prayerful, B humble, B mild,

B wise as Solomon, B meek as a child.

 

B studious, B thoughtful, B loving, B kind,

B sure you make matters subservient to mind.

 

B cautious, B prudent, B friendly with few,

B temperate in argument, pleasure, and view.

 

B cheerful, B grateful, B helpful, B firm,

B peaceful, benevolent, B willing to learn.

 

B courageous, B gentle, B liberal, B just,

B aspiring, B lowly, because thou art dust.

 

B penitent, B circumspect, sound in the faith,

B active, devoted, B faithful till death.

 

B honest, B holy, B transparent and pure,

B dependent, B Christ-like, and you’ll B secure.
