A Prayer Against Pride Poem by Mike Finley
A Prayer Against Pride
You are the winking stream,
We are all hiccup and failure.
You are love, a perfect dream.
We, a stumbling drunkard.
You are faithful like a mighty tree.
We are momentary tinder.
To you belongs the victory,
Our only hope, surrender.
(2006)
Someone once taught that the way to get power is to give it away. That's why your word, 'surrender, ' is so important in this prayer. Raynette
And 'surrender' differs from 'giving up' or 'giving in'. There is strength in this kind. Thanks for this, Mike.
I Love it Mike, Pride is such a difficult mountain to climb. Falling down it can be deadly if you haven't got a good grip to start with! lol 10 from flying instead! Tai
