Humility
Humility is like a lofty tree
That steadily keeps on growing
The more she reaches to the sky
The more her poise is showing
And up to her the other trees
Keep looking as she grows
She keeps her branches close to her
She’s tactful, ’cause she knows
She will not keep the sunny rays
From shining on the rest
She will not let the cooling rain
Fall only on her chest
And there she stands, but once a while
She sways a bit, not much
The wind will come and tease her
But she won’t indulge in such
Because she is considerate
She’ll stand there and endure
The elements, whatever they may be
She’ll stay quiet and demure
And when the other trees around
Will start to change their ways
And look not like they were before
She stands right there and sways
She’ll do it without arrogance
Also, not to be seen
And all the trees give due respect
To this noble Evergreen.
