I thank God for the ability to gaurd my mouth.
When there's a mountain of feelings, rising up within me,
I have the wisdom to count my words.

I would rather keep quiet, and appear as rude for not giving a response.
Sometimes it's not that I don't know what to say,
But it's just that I don't want to say it.
Sometimes I want to say something, 
But I don't know what to say, so I keep quiet.
I would rather keep quiet, and seem foolish for not adding my views.

If I have to respond, I view and review my response a few times in my head before I speak it.
Somehow, I can't help it, but to make a face in the process.
If I have to respond, than I suppose the subjects have no other choice but to wait for 5sec or so, while I pick and choose the proper response.
Often times this also helps, in the sense that, while I take that pause,
an automatic sifting process takes place.
If I thought a response is a must, but actually wasn't, this is where all is revealed.
If you cannot wait 5sec, then I guess, there's no real need for a response from me.

Phrases like "how do I put this" or "Give me a second" are an indication that you are in the midst of wisdom!
People who don't just blurt out words, for the sake of filling the empty void / space.
I bless the Lord for the high EQ he gave me

Just because I didn't shout, frown, cry, laugh, put them in their place,
It doesn't mean I didn't hear / see.
Sometimes I choose to remain calm and rational, whilst I am in the midst of turmoil & stupidity.
Sometimes I can see through the musk, but choose to play along.
Sometimes I choose to turn a blind eye because it's none of my business.
Sometimes, speaking out / acting it out, is just not worth it, so I let them be.

At times, I come in so strong, you wish I would keep quiet!
When I know what to say and know that I have to say it, there is no stopping me.
When I finally have a proper response, I stick to it.
I cannot be silenced, when I have views, I will voice them;
Sometimes without even being asked.

I thank God for the ability to know when and how to respond in each instant. 
In my daily interactions with different people and various challenges, in my 7yrs of being born again, I only have about 1% of conversations where I lost composure... and those are from the time when I was still young in the journey of Faith. 

Praise God, who gives wisdom and ability to tame our thoughts and mouths!
