Are you wise enough to know the meaning of the last three lines?
Wisdom
by Barbara Lynn Terry
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.
