Humble

Tears stop flowing but face still wet
heart soft but firm, not a dripping mess
Easy to be negative, me against the world
Easier to be positive, to forget the stolen pearl
constantly strive for balance of fear and hope
the middle path of justice and peace we promote
to live by our word is increasingly difficult
burden grows with knowledge, deliver physical
results not necessarily measurable - but spiritual
carrying the world on your shoulders takes being bolder
not to crack under the pressure, act a lot older
Inspired by those who carry smiles on their faces
good character greater than books pages and pages
this should be our trait - a manner so great
trustworthy and humble why do we underestimate
when we are being judged by the actions of the few
take a step back and question, what about you?
