"Humility and Love"
The Inseparable Pair

by Mary Olkowski

To esteem my self-greatness among others
I have greatness to lose
Whereby in humility and in love
I simply enjoy my accomplishments
Praise God
Losing nothing

To esteem my self-perfection
I become intolerant of my flaws
Whereby in humility and in love
I realize only God is perfect
And I can accept myself anew

To esteem my self-goodness
I become judgemental
Whereby in humility and in love
Realizing my weaknesses
I’m able to forgive myself as well as others
I see Goodness in everyone

To esteem the Lord my God above all
Is to know and love the Father
Whereby I set my -self free
I become as a child
Fearless, Trusting
Loving unconditionally
In peace and tranquility
With nothing to lose but self
My -Love is my gain
