OF MAN AND OF HUMILITY

         

            From nature man has much to learn,

                  of humility examples that abound!

            In the field with rice abloom,

            Bow the grain-filled stalks

            Tall and erect those with only husks

            In the grove, the taller it grows, the

                  lower the bamboo bends no

                  longer unyielding void of pretense.

            The proverbial silent water;

            Our Lord in the Manger;

            And only bits of reminder;

            "Man be humble be great
