A Desire to Know

A desire to know
Feeds a hunger to learn
And learning soon flows
Where into pride it can turn

For with higher education
There's accomplishments
As fruits of dedication
Open doors where knowledge is lent

But, in pride we're prone to boast
From this blessed strength in wisdom
When it's but a gift that does host
To further God's fruit filled kingdom

Dallin H. Oaks
Our Strengths Can Become our Downfall
