“Meekness is the principal protection from the prideful
blindness that often arises from prominence, position,
power, wealth, and adulation.”
David A. Bednar
Just because I’m broke don’t mean I must be very meek;
A poor man has his pride and does not turn the other cheek.
Poverty can be a stumbling block as well as wealth;
The arrogance of want has crept upon me with great stealth.
Save me, Lord, from self conceit, when charity I need;
Help me know that give and take are part of thy good creed.
Spiritual riches still await me; this I know!
If I will but learn meekness while I struggle here below.
