Parables of Proverbs

Bible-inspired truth

Parables of Proverbs

The wheel in the shape of a heart

Pleases but does not roll

The canary bathed in gold

Enchants but does not sing

The flower planted in crystal

Dazzles but does not grow

The painting of a summer’s day

Inspires but does not exist

Lacy fabrics spun and woven

Attract but do not warm

Memories captured in a photo

Are timeless but do not last

Love letters kept in a box

Remind but do not replace

Human voices hiding their intentions

Are sweet but do not comfort

True beauty lies in pure hearts

Open minds, and love for one’s neighbor.
