Wisdom

WILLIAM P. MC KENZIE

Just to be quiet, just to be kind,
Just to be patient a little longer—
To wait a bit for the children's feet,
And to hold their hands till they grow stronger;
Then ripe age shall have memories sweet.
This is a secret for health, you'll find—
Just to be kind.

Just to be loving, just to be wise,
The word provocative withholden;
With friendship to listen, but slow to speak—
For love in the heart makes silence golden;
Blessings and honors enrich the meek,
'Tis life's reward, it is striving's prize—
Just to be wise.
