The Truly Wise Person Poem by Francis Duggan

Of him or her you seldom hear of or read
The truly wise person does not wish to lead
They never do speak much they don't deal in lies
From learning from living they have grown to be wise
The truly wise person never has much to say
He or she know that from life you learn every day
They realize the more that you know of the less you know that you know
And from their life experience more wise they do grow
The wise never yearn for wealth and renown
And they are not even well known on their side of the town
To be leaders of others in life not their role
The ego with them is well under control
You won't find a wise one on every street
And their sort of person one does not often meet.
