now be humble

Now be humbe… now, be humble…

Now be humble…
I am ever humbled by three little words…
Now be humble… now, be humble…

Was there a commatic pause in Mother’s voice?

Crippled, tripled, (late flax) retted and ribbled…
When I was but eighteen, valedictorian,
Thru many moves and seven schools,
At last a compensated(?) number one…
My Mother(!) cautioned, precautioned…
Now be humble…

I am bright,
I enjoy treasures, pleasures, insight,
And delight…
Also, I suffer some fright…
Yet, ever, always, alone, together, with self…
From the most severe lessons of life’s resume..
Now be humble…
