I May Be Wise BUT Sometimes........

I am a wise man
      But not always so smart

Sometimes I speak quickly
      Not using my heart

And although what I say may have a good point
It's the way that it's said that gets a nose out of joint

Wisdom unused is not very wise
Words unconsidered may just be more lies

I must keep in mind all hurts from the past
      That color the way words are heard and how fast
The walls will go up when a feeling returns
      A feeling of danger of emotional burns

And tailor my words with that person in mind
That's wisdom, my dear, and also quite kind.
