Humility

People think that being humble
Is being afraid and weak
But it really takes great courage and strength
To turn the other cheek

Humility is an essential tool
You will need for the path ahead
It breaks you free from vanity and pride
So you can learn to love others instead

The humble are greatful for what they receive
And their giving knows no bounds
But with those who strive for selfish ends
The emptiness in them resounds

So lets rejoice in our humility
For it is a virtue of true worth
"Take heart" a brother once prophetically said
"For the meek shall inherit the earth"
