In silence, wisdom waits,  
While folly tempts our fates.  
A selfish heart will sow,  
The seeds of strife and woe.  

To speak without a thought,  
Is to be easily caught.  
Gossip, like fire, spreads,  
Leaving trust in shreds.  

The wise seek to understand,  
With open heart and hand.  
Justice must guide our way,  
For truth will never sway.  

The name of God, our shield,  
In Him, our fears are healed.  
Wealth may seem secure,  
But faith alone is pure.  

So let us choose our words,  
With care, like gentle birds.  
In harmony, we’ll thrive,  
With wisdom, we’ll arrive.
