The Meek

My poem "The meek/humble"       

                 THE MEEK
Oh, praise be to the meek and mild, 
Whose calm spirit humbly compiled, 
A life lived with grace and care, 
Deserving of admiration and prayer.

They stand tall without a boast, 
Content to be seen as the host, 
Of all the peaceful and pure, 
A soothing light that forever endures.

Their patience is a welcome sight, 
For they choose to embrace what is right,
Guided by that still small voice, 
They always make the selfless choice.

The meek are ones who shall inherit, 
A place in heaven just like merit, 
May we learn from their gentle ways, 
And follow in humble steps all our days.

For when we stand with hearts so kind, 
The world becomes a better mind, 
A place where love and hope take root, 
And we can all live, 
we can all flourish, 
we can all be astute.
