Humility


Humility does not mean thinking less of yourself than other people, nor does it mean having a low opinion of your own gifts. It means freedom from thinking about yourself at all. William Temple 1881-1944

Humility

Some thoughts about humility
before I reach senility
I've pondered on that subject here
and this is the answer that comes so near

It means not thinking less of myself
or minimizing what I do,
Or thinking that what I have done
doesn't measure up to you

Humility as I can figure
and is my final call
Is the freedom not to think of myself
for days or not at all
