Humility should not be lonely
can't bond when only one
it should bring people together
before the day is done
...
I know You can do everything
and nothing is restrained from You
yet I still suffer in silence
and no salvation comes to view
...
The banquet table was set
with the finest of fare
no food would be eaten
by the ones sitting there
...
Who is the wolf
that knocks on your door
they say if you feed him
he will come back no more
...
I will be a tree
roots deep and wide
bend when wind blows
not have to hide
...
Some see it only getting black
enemies massing to attack
But I see only light
...
Does it make you happy
to be so very bad
if it makes you happy
why are you so sad
...
Must be satisfied what you have
nothing more that you need
Others may have a lot
always for more they plead
...
Have wings you cannot see
that will carry you high
if just open your heart
let tears fall from eyes
...
Know there are many Worlds
to which souls may go
all based upon their deeds
and wisdom that they know
...
When your eyes are gone
will you still be able to see
when your ears are closed
can you hear a falling tree
...
The universe goes on forever
beyond all time and space
worlds that cannot be counted
making Earth a little place
...
I can teach you to see
if really want to learn
will not be what expected
and both your eyes may burn
...
They try to wash morality
out of minds in school
teach that everything is relative
that religious are all fools
...
Is a sin hidden in secret
better than the ones you see
do you claim G-d is dead
so that everyone can be free
...
Did you know that reality
is the most overrated game
looking at objects and shadows
convinced are exactly the same
...
Wolf broke into chicken coop
and promptly ate his fill
the other wolves were nervous
chickens would bear ill will

Humility
Humility should not be lonely
can't bond when only one
it should bring people together
before the day is done
Does it separate from others
or build foundation that lasts
forge a long term commitment
that connects with the past
There is no stronger bond
than what humility can bring
it can join hearts together
just like a wedding ring
You can tear the flesh from my bones, but I will see only light. The only thing in this world that we control is our attitude.
