Be humble <br />Even in your greatness. <br />Be noble <br />Even if in you own the stars. <br /> <br />For in order to have the prize, <br />You must be humble to pay the price. <br />Your stars will not last forever. <br />Your crowns will not surely endure. <br /> <br />Yes, you may even have trophies <br />But it is not an excuse <br />To live a life being humble, <br />To be more than noble. <br /> <br />My friend, they whose pride <br />Is greater than what is right <br />Have already bought a home <br />In the hell’s zone. <br /> <br />They who boast of their riches <br />And are drunkards of foolishness <br />Have already perished <br />But I pray that they’ll be restored and not just punished. <br /> <br />They who forgot that they are humans <br />Are those whose pride reached the heavens <br />But they must be reminded <br />That they escape from being dread. <br /> <br />Let no one <br />Reach the sun <br />And burn there <br />And leave earth’s goodness forever. <br /> <br />My friend, <br />Be humble even in your greatness.<br /><br />Obed dela Cruz<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/be-humble-even-in-your-greatness/
