Humility

When was the last time you were humble?

When was the last time you let another take credit?

When was the last time you didn’t care about the glory?

When was the last time you decided that you didn’t want the credit?

To just give because you wanted to,

And not to show off?

To give of yourself,

And not just because it is part of your beliefs?

To donate your time to others,

Just because you wanted to help another?

And not for any recognition,

And not for any pats on the back,

And not for any glory you could have been given,

When was the last time you gave money?

To those that are in need?

To those that are on the street?

To those that have nothing,

And are just trying to scrap by?

When was the last time you gave a meal?

To someone who was hungry?

To someone who had children to feed,

And had nothing to give?

To just give something to someone,

Without looking for any honor?

Any respect?

Or even a thank you?

When did you just decide to be humble?

And to give out of the abundance you have been given?

To show humility because you wanted to?

Because you felt it in your heart and soul?

Because it is part of your being?

Because there was no other reason?

To be humble just because you can,

And because you want to be different,

Be different than anyone else.
