Best Wise Poems

just going  to church every week ~ does not make you a better Christian

be grateful for everything that you have ~ because many have nothing

love and respect are not something that you can buy ~you have to earn them

our world leaders and politicians ~...

W-hen the fullness of time had come, Jesus was born behind an Inn in a cave-like stable.
I-n the Inn there was no room for the Son of God, no room for the Saviour of men.
S-tar was shining so bright above the stable for the shepherds...

listening watching learning ~ oh how we have become blind deaf and dumb


Rustling and bustling through the day, makes for unease--I Am

I was one of many that had the priviledge
to live with my Grandparents.  The lessons
I learned from them will remain with me for
the rest of my life. My Grandmother was a 
very wise woman and her way of thinking
and explaining things made me listen.
I...

A pearl more precious
than possession of knowledge - 
If I had wisdom
beyond that of Solomon,
I’d have no need for wishes.

My wise old father said to me
Be kind and gentle to your wife
And happy you will always be
Throughout the years of married life

Be kind and gentle to your wife 
For she is loving, soft...

The wise old owl has come today
To train a  young one in the way
Of all the things that it should know
So he can hoot and wisely grow

He'll show this one just what to do
So on it's own it'll fly so true
It's prey will never...

If I go to the library each day
and seek out the knowledge there on display;
or read all the newspapers, come what may,
and listen to what others have to say;
then; will I be wise?

If I get children to teach me their way
drop my inhibitions and learn...

I am a white owl,
I listen to people’s scowl,
I turn a deaf ear to a drunk’s howl,
I don’t quench my thirst from your water bowl!
I come out at midnight,
So that, I don’t get to see you fight,
You can’t see my flight,
Still, I observe your helpless...

Wise Enough to Know

I'm wise enough 
to know what I don't know
I think fast but my brain's slow
rivers of thought
cause my mind to flow
Still it seems I'm dumb enough 
to put on a vain show
Will you follow me
to the places I want to go?

Wise enough

How wise is it for someone 

To strive to build a permanent residence
 
Within 

The perimeter of a transient life?

I HEARD THE WISE WORDS

The day wise words were spoken
It was over near the beaten path;
Where I first heard them uttered.
“Beware of the fool in his folly
Who may be clever in presenting his story;
Only for the seeking of his own glory;
Leading the blind to purgatory.”
Some...

Philosopher, Lover of Life, Wise One
What I would give
To see the world through your eyes
To picture the haze of freedom
Where there reigns injustice and chains
To capture the shadow of dignity
Where there thunders cries of hunger and pain
To carry the veil of hope
Where there lurks despair...

Loud insistent dragons are pounding at my brick walls.
Bam. Bam. Bam. Bam. Bam. No walls now. 
These giant creatures have escaped, uninhibited, free.
In a happy, wicked slow walk, they approach the town.

Heading toward a communal meadow of unsuspecting villagers.
Children running out to greet them, recognizing...
