The Humble

They are not self important and are free of conceit
The humble are always a pleasure to meet
Yet they seem out of place in the World of today
Since many are into self promotion in quite a big way
The humble their own praises never do sing
To advertise their talents is not their thing
In the twenty first century their sort becoming rare
Where so many their own success stories are only too willing to share
A few humble people i feel privileged to know
They are lucky to be blessed of the bright inner glow
Since self praise is no praise is only too true
To the humble of mind credit is only due
Of how great they are you never hear them brag
For self promotion they never carry the flag.
