Words of Gold

Hard fought for wisdom.

Wisdom given as a gift for persistence.

•

Why give them away so quickly?

To save the moment?

To spare heartache?

•

Wisdom does not come so easily.

It’s simple to give to a willing recipient,

Otherwise it is as pearls before swine.

•

Beautiful gold,

Trampled.

Lost.

•

There’s wisdom in a tongue held,

In a mouth whose words are carefully weighed.
