Poetry About Humbleness

The wisest voice at the table leaves room for another answer. Humbleness is not making the self smaller than the truth. It is knowing the edge of what experience has taught us. A full cup must be set down before both hands can help. Praise arrives; gratitude receives it without building a throne. Mistakes become teachers when defense finally leaves the room.

It is knowing the edge of what experience has taught us. The tree bearing fruit lowers its branches within reach. Service can be strong without requiring an audience. Listening is the courage to be changed by what we hear. No one stands alone beneath the work that made them possible. Humbleness keeps the door open after certainty sits down.

The wisest voice at the table leaves room for another answer. Praise arrives; gratitude receives it without building a throne. Mistakes become teachers when defense finally leaves the room. Listening is the courage to be changed by what we hear. Quiet strength knows it belongs to a larger field. Humbleness keeps the door open after certainty sits down.
