Humility

praying for humble

as my fear does a tribal dance

around my pride

as if to protect the last staunch vestiges of

self-so-useless

I bow

until the stretching seems ripping tearing

crying aloud my hardened then hungry heart

feed

me

knees reaching earth

a distance so far

NEED

You

humble she

praying

  2. I agree: it is a beautiful prayer. And humility is a hard thing to pray for.
