Humility

Humility

Humility, a fickle thing,

If I but say I’m offering-

Humility, it’s what I’ve got,

A humble person I am not.

Humility’s not steeped in shame,

Or all beliefs as being the same,

There is that aspect of respect,

To care for other’s intellect.

The powerful must stifle greed,

Yet still be strong when they must lead,

It’s never meek or weak to try,

To carry humble banner high.

Humility, when we pursue,

Far less in words, it’s what we do,

Humility, the virtue of,

Is wrapped within a word called “Love”!
