People May Hear You

Come close my dear son Listen to what wisdom says People may hear your words But they feel your attitude For action speaks Louder than the highest voice Words are empty drums That makest a stormy noise But contain nothing in itself Even if your words are rotten eggs But your attitudes is well furnished People will surround you They will kiss you from sweetest lips They will place your position Above the majesty and governors You will be an apple That seduce their eyes So,my son,do not oil your words To earn honour and praise Do not mask yourself by your sweetest lips Everyone knew that words can't represent the heart She only speaks for one's interest But attitude is the mouth of the heart Therefore my son,be wise Follow what wisdom advised Do what makes you happy To your fellow being mind your behaviours and deeds For people may hear your words, But they feel you attitude.

It's what is on the inside that counts, for there is where our true heart and soul resides, and our actions will always speak louder than our words.... I really like the positive message in this poem. Very well said and written, Cornel!
