Tenderness

My son, give attention to my words;

Incline your ear to my sayings.

Do not let them depart from before your eyes;

Keep them always in the midst of your heart;

For they are life to those who find them,

And health to all their flesh.

Keep your heart with all diligence;

For out of it spring the issues of life.

Proverbs 4:20-23

(New King James Version)
