Wise People

Wise people are people who do not feel wise The depth of their wisdom they do not realize Not arrogant or conceited in any way Though very profound things you do hear them say They are quite good listeners and sparing on speech And to others they do not think they have much to teach They never grow angry or carry a grudge Or feel that they have the right others to judge A wise person does not live on every street And few of them I have been privileged to meet Education for wisdom is not a necessary thing And of the wise the praises few bother to sing And a wise person one does not meet every day They are very rare which does seem sad to say.
