Gold

With deep understanding a person is calm.
In times of great stress his peace is a balm .
He will not be jarred or speak out in haste,
For words too soon spoken are often a waste.

He will be guided by wisdom and vision
And choose all his words with careful precision.
When he does speak, his words will be clear.
His oversight will be worthwhile to hear.

Those who seek wisdom are truly a gift
And add to us blessing, our lives to lift.
They have understanding more priceless than gold.
It cannot be bought, nor will it be sold.

"He who has knowledge spares his words, and a man of understanding has a cool spirit."
Proverbs 17:27 Amplified Bible
