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!
