Poem
Even when it all seems established and fruitful Don’t let pride creep in Even if you are swimming in a pool of emeralds and pearls Don’t let pride creep in Even when you are sliding through life with all your trophies Don’t let pride creep in Even when you’ve defeated giants and claimed territories Don’t let pride creep in Even when your table is filled with food Don’t let pride creep in Even when your cellar is well-stocked with the finest of wines Don’t let pride creep in Even when you visit kings and queens Don’t let pride creep in Even when you sit down to dine with the wise Don’t let pride creep in Even when they try to flatter you with sweet words of admiration Don’t let pride creep in Even when you hear the crowd chant your name Don’t let pride creep in Even when they salute and serve you Don’t let pride creep in Even when all your prayers seem to be answered Don’t let pride creep in Remain humble and thankful! ________________________________________ Even when the morning goes and the evening comes Don’t let doubt creep in Even when all doors seem to be closed Don’t let doubt creep in Even when they laugh at your perseverance and faith Don’t let doubt creep in Even when they turn you down and walk away Don’t let doubt creep in Even when the rain begins to pour Don’t let doubt creep in Even when the ones closest to you betray you Don’t let doubt creep in Even when the tears threaten to pour Don’t let doubt creep in Even when your wallet looks old and empty Don’t let doubt creep in Even when your stomach growls and your tongue is dry Don’t let doubt creep in Even when they make silly faces and laugh at your dreams Don’t let doubt creep in Even when you’ve been rejected and scorned Don’t let doubt creep in Even when tomorrow seems too far Don’t let doubt creep in Always believe, never lose faith!
