Beautiful Humility

To be aware is not to be weak--

To admit your fault and make amends,

And if in the end you humbly bow

It doesn't mean you've lost,

Succumbed to higher authorities

But grown strong in your resolve

Envisioned clear the sights of the world

And truthfully relayed that what haunts the eye...

Be not plagued by guilt,

For the chance to brag and boast

But humbly take responsibility

Proud. Strong. Honest.

There is honor here, hidden but pure

Old fashioned, perhaps, but simple and sweet;

A rare and lost beauty.
