Many Words

Some folks "bluster" and talk big.
By their words deep holes they dig.
Words pour forth without much thought
And with foolishness are fraught.

Some folks quietly observe
Until they know their words will serve
Good purpose and have good import.
Their words wisdom's riches court.

Frivolous words are such a waste
And sometimes aren't on real facts based.
But when you hear a wise man speak,
Know his words will be unique.

"Wisdom resteth in the heart of him that hath understanding; but that which is in the midst of fools is made known."
Proverbs 14:33 KJV
