Pride Meets Humility

 

What chance be there upon one day

when Pride appeared on scene

that he would find opportune time

confront Humility


Pride's arrogant and chesty boast

put forth to Humble's mind

his steadfast speech of perfect ways

need never be aligned


For thus did Pride need not to learn

for he doth know it all

Humility an open book

whose eyes observed him small


The beaming swell and stoney heart

within Pride's wretched soul

believed himself more valuable

than Humble's modest roll


With head bent low Humble appeared

inferior and crushed

to stand before Pride's strong-willed boast

vain gloried self filled thrust


Though I be low Humble did speak

his modest soul in tact

with broken heart cried out to God

who'd judge Pride's steadfast act


And though said Humble I in need

spirit dependent true

tis I who God will soon exalt

abasing Prideful rue
