      The Path of Wisdom
      By Mary Thrasher

      That I may not only hear,
      But listen;

      That I may not only listen,
      But remember;

      That I may not only remember,
      But meditate;

      That I may not only meditate,
      But apprehend;

      That I may not only apprehend,
      But practice;

      That I may not only practice,
      But be.
