He Has Got Humility Poem by Francis Duggan

He Has Got Humility



To talk of his achievements he's reluctant it would seem
And those who think that they know better say he's low in self esteem
But they seem to overlook one thing or either are too blind to see
That the man is not conceited he has got humility.

And those who know him better say he's good at what he do
And that 'empty vessels make the most noise' still so happens to be true,
He leaves others do the talking, he takes success in his stride
And he doesn't have an inflated ego that comes from too much
self pride.

Those into self promotion say in self esteem he's low
But the meaning of humility such people would hardly know,
To them boasting is a natural thing to talk of self they are not shy
And three words that they use often are me, myself and I.

He doesn't boast of his achievements he has got humility
Though those into self promotion with that hardly would agree
To them to brag is natural at least that's how 'twould seem
And they see every quiet achiever as one with low self esteem
