Humble Pie

An acrostic poem by Beverly Stock.

Humility, you level my ego.

Under your spell, my words are more grateful.

My self worth is strong yet evenly tempered.

By Learning from you, I have a better soul.

Like you, I exercise dignity.

Everyday, I celebrate modesty.

Please hold me steadfast.

Invest in my appreciation.

Every day offered, I’ll celebrate.
