Let Me Be Humble

Let me be humble

So I can react with grace

When things are not in my favor

And don’t go my way.

__

 

Let me be humble

So when I look inside

I see thoughts clean of resentment,

Clean of jealousy and pride.

__

 

Let me be humble

So I can repent

For any wrongs I have done

With or without intent.

__

 

Let me be humble

And know when to take a step back

To celebrate and praise others

Without feeling any lack.

__

 

Let me be humble

And ascribe to grace and luck

All the good fortune in my life

Rather than hard work, choice, or pluck.

__

 

Let me be humble

And not place on a pedestal, only those who have my thoughts

Let me see this as a personal weakness

That daily must be fought.

__

 

Let me be humble

And learn to appreciate

The great variety of human beings

That populate this day and age.

Let me be humble!
