IN PRAISE OF HUMILITY

In the middle of the book of virtue

You stand of highest value

Humility, you are  a treasure so noble

For a heart so humble

In you I sign my name

So that my life won’t be maim

I cherish you oh humility

For from you I take dignity

But still you remain my struggle

In this world of jungle

I pass through you as to a narrow gate

To receive all that is given in faith

Humility you are my delight

You bring me friends like magnet

With you heaven is more than a target

For you give me the angelic coronet.
