John Hamilton Poet Verse

Humility

Humility

Hardened hearts, harbor hate
Haughty eyes, penetrate
Honest folks congregate
Holy Spirit conflates
Happiness permeates
Humankind celebrates
Humility is great.

Andrea Dietrich February 23, 2017 at 7:52 PM I like how the lines kept adding up to the wonderful finish on humility! Congrats on a job very well done, John. John Hamilton February 23, 2017 at 9:22 PM Glad you noticed that was the idea the contrasting quality that gradually transformed by Gods power into humility, we can't do it on our own for sure, thanks for your visits and comments!
