Best Humble Poems

Mama says this is where 
  I was born on a stormy night
    the benignant horn was where
      she'd paused to breathe and reside

         The bounteous hollow took...

FROM HUMBLE BEGINNINGS
 
As the bitter Northern wind howled in the grey early morn,
Sat a young child half frozen, looking sad and forlorn,
He came from a rundown broken home, with 6 siblings,
Where there was little money, no hope and poor beginnings.

Rob always sat on the...

Dear Heavenly Father, 

Please forgive me for unconfessed sins of omission, transgressions of commission, and the iniquity in my own heart. I confess that I have sinned in all of these areas. Please help me to want to truly repent of those specific transgressions that...

He prepared the pie
With greatest care
Within the pot 
My brains and hair
For hers had been
A lofty perch 
Just a peg or two
Would never do

Cremated remains
Formed the shell
Into the plate
My crushed bones fell
I could still see
But could not yell
The pie's aroma
A story to tell

My innards baked
Hour...

THE HUMBLE CATHEDRAL

In the glaring eyes of the sun
dressed thin in lush green moss,
my shady sky-high trunk compeer
dark brown wrinkled arms spreading free
my slender fingers of verdant hue.

They swing, swing in quiet seesaws 
attune to the cradling light of July breeze.
Pleased and appeased, I puff...

To me you are a sacred dream
Each warmest hope upon the day.
A glass of wish from precious stream
Bright trace of sun through clouds of grey.

My endless trust in times of need
Our secrets shared we do confide
In passions breath to one I’m freed
Past darkest hour you...

A humble man is what I am before you.
You see, I am not worthy to say…
“Sir, may I have your daughter’s hand,
But please yield to your wife’s pleas:
Calm down a while as I explain what’s deep in my heart.
Why deprive your daughter of a possible...

The Humble Pen (by Steven Cooke)

What dreams we have,
We share with the pen.
What love we find,
We share with the pen.
What happiness we find,
We share with the pen.

When our soul bleeds,
We find solace in the pen.
When our hearts are broken,
We find comfort in the pen.
When all...

A wild flower that grows with lovely florets yellow,
it is the dandelion-   a very humble fellow.
Some think them ugly and want to destroy,
but I recall as a child finding a dandelion with joy.
I would collect a bouquet of yellow beauty for mother,
to place...

The humble tree standing strong, 
its hands rooted deeply and wild beneath the earth, 
Defeating the powerful full winds,
Standing strong and tall, 

Holding its chin to the sky.
Never looking down for a moment. 
Wrestling with the changing emotions of the seasons.
Holding the same long lasting...

I will find mercy - despite the rain
I will find the love - In a humble heart

A heart who is flooded
With kindness and warmth

Heartfelt are my thanks for all the blessings
ever flowing in, out and through my life.
I feel fortunate for each go-round with strife
that arrived to design my soul’s truth dressings.

My humbled breath streams awe when I feel His touch
upon my grateful soul, heart, thoughts and actions.

Beside the Zhuque Bridge wild flowers bloom lonely, 
On the Wuyi Alley the setting sun beams serenely. 
The swallows that once nested in halls of the noble,
Have now flown into the simple homes of the humble.

When I came to the end of me
and stopped trying to fix it by myself mentality
in desperation I would cry out to my Father
hoping that He would answer when He saw me now on my knees.

For if I chose to humble myself 
under the mighty...
