Indeed do so many, themselves exalt, <br />therefore is the fall, entirely their fault. <br />For truly can the Lord, abase anyone, <br />and make their whole world, come undone. <br />For He is God, that commandeth all things, <br />and can surely make beggars, out of kings. <br />So it's foolish to think, you don't need His hand, <br />for without the Lord, can no man stand. <br />Because with God only, is strength found, <br />therefore a reason, to why He's crowned. <br />It really is a killer, the thing called pride, <br />and indeed have many, because of it died. <br />So to boast and brag, is very childish indeed, <br />and it shall bring attention, that you don't need. <br />For there is always another, much more great, <br />so it's wise to be careful, with the words you state. <br />Because to think of oneself, with such conceit, <br />can be very hazardous, for it's but deceit. <br />For truly does He giveth, and taketh away, <br />and can make one unable, to keep the tears at bay. <br />So it is best to be humble, and not walk to proud, <br />or an example may be set, before the crowd. <br />And how the mighty have fallen, will all see, <br />so let not your lips, but another praise thee.<br /><br />somebody else<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/modesty-2/
