On Your Knees You Become Great Poem by Dr. Antony Theodore

On Your Knees You Become Great

Rating: 5.0


The merciful are quiet
They are not conspicuous
and do not attract the attention of others.

They don't make a lot of fuss.
They don't aspire for fame.

They bow and bend down
to those who need them.


They stand with the poor and needy.
They are near them,
not above them.
They make them stand erect
in their dignity as human beings
in the honest and upright stature
in the image of God.


The merciful are quiet.
They don't desire for a position.
They like to be with
the poor and the rejected.

The kingdom of God roots itself in them.
In them the kingdom of God will grow

The human being is never so great
as when he is on his knees.

Wonderful narration of how a great man should be has been given in the wonderfully penned poem with a spiritual base. A person who is unassuming, polite, merciful, and humble and possesses noble thoughts is really a great man. Thanks for sharing.10 + points. Regards.
