Powerless Without Humility?
I have gladly greeted another glorious day,
dazzling with bright sun-rays and new faith;
and as hope regains its strength with ease,
morning comforts me with a refreshing breeze!
These weapons of hatred I've thrown away,
feeling with a sudden vindication,to be
the victor over the tyrant whose pride isn't burning;
even forgiveness needs no imploring!
Ever rejoice,humble heart and fill me
with contentment;I am shunning hostility
as my fiercest,most belligerent enemy,
who had entrapped me with malignity!
Now, resentment vanishes,leaving no traces;
an exuberant smile reappears on this face:
conflicts so harsh have ended this debate...
there's no minimal animosity to alleviate!
Never forget,forgiving heart,that every sad event
I've been tried for,wasn't a want of vanity;
and will I ever feel unnoticed,lost
and powerless without humility?
