Wisdom

Are you wise enough to know the meaning of the last three lines?

Wisdom is what we have

   when we think before we say

things that make no sense.

Wisdom is the truth that

   clears our difficult path

so we can see clearly.

Wisdom are the words of the sage,

   spoken without rage

for those who wish to learn.

But wise is the one who speaks

only when they have the intelligence

to remain silent.

Yes Barbara; there certainly is wisdom often in remaining silent. Inane and hurtful words can do untold damage. Thank you. Love and best wishes,

Well said indeed Barbie, it is often all too easy to flap our gums when caution and thought should be used first.

Hello Barbie,
Words of Wisdom Are In Your Beautiful Poetic Pen With The Knowledge Of Silent Guidance.
I have learned I am capable to learn anything
while I do not know everything
yet in the same breath I know absolutely nothing
and it is best to keep quiet sometimes & watch & listen.
