Thinking it Through

Author: Unknown

Rushing and hurry
busy and scurry
to quick to comment
just like a torrent
words can undo us
unless we can stop

Thoughtfully ponder
the wild blue yonder
as issues, and problems
stand in your way,
what to say?

Ponder it slowly,
reason it through
Then invite knowledge
wisdom to counsel
pros and the cons
bring them to view.

Choosing our words
deciding the course
applying the action
as wise as one can.

Great write & timely subject(just realized that could be considered a pun, as you just had the time change, but truly, no pun intended! I've just noticed several writes on thinking things through - "think before you speak" as the saying goes)

Beautifully written, wise advice, and as pilgrim said about the mouth ahead of the brain-lol - so true!!
