IN MY OLD AGE I AM LEARNING HUMILITY <br /> <br /> <br />In my old age I am learning Humility <br />I have not been good enough <br />I will never realize the dreams I had for my work <br />I am not good enough <br />There are others far better than me <br />In each and everything I do <br />I hoped I would be better <br />I thought I was better <br />I was wrong- <br /> <br />Mediocrity is mine <br />And I am a minor player <br />If a player at all <br />On the stage of Literature- <br /> <br />In my old age I am learning Humility <br />It hurts a bit, <br />But I am still here <br />And I will nonetheless <br />Write it out to the end.<br /><br />Shalom Freedman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/in-my-old-age-i-am-learning-humility/
