humility
we can't make wind a gentle breezenor keep it at our back;
we can't have everything we want,
not even what we lack.
(space)
the trip we make is often hard;
we can't make skies turn blue;
and sometimes we will be confused
and not know what to do.
(space)
the paths we choose have rain and pain
and many hills to climb;
the storms we cause can turn on us
and hurt us any time;
(space)
and though we have some rest and ease,
the only guarantee
we have while working through our lives
is that humility
(space)
can help us face our challenges,
endure our bumpy way,
prepare us for the dark unknown,
and take our fear away.
