A Humble Man
Can you find a humble man,
Glad to be on God's green earth?
One who holds no greedy plan,
Knowing wealth has no true worth.
Perhaps, if you search around
You may find the one I seek;
Standing firm on shaky ground
Proud, yet modest, kind, yet meek.
If your search discovers him
Would you for a moment pause,
To lift his precious diadem
And return to me, because
I cannot find the one I seek,
Someone with a gentle plan;
Proud, yet modest, kind, yet meek;
Can you find a humble man?

Hello Joseph,
It is better to be humble than proud because pride comes before a fall. A humble child
taste the grace. A very good rendition of a heart warming poem. This poem was issued
out of a humble heart. Appreciate the opportunity for a good read.
There aren't many of them around Thomas, but they must exist somewhere - I am sure you are one of them to possess such understanding, and to be able to produce such a wonderful poem.
When such people are becoming an extinct species, we look up to people like you to see if that diadem is on your head! Not a joke! Your poems and your comments have been inspiring sir and truely I miss them now! !
A wonderful inspiring poem
Very hard to find. I'm thinking that perhaps most just don't understand what that means. However, thanks for this beautiful poem from one who truly understands what it means to be humble.
Maybe, just a thought, if you have a mirror he could be in there., take care of him if he is!

Just the title along caught my immediate attention and after reading this elegant and humble poem, I have found it to be spiritually inspiring and thought provoking! 10+++ This well crafted and moving write really touched me!
