to gain by work

to gain by work

A Poem by Laura Lynn Close

echoes in the hollow hills,
rinsed washcloths in the sink,
are like echoes in hospitals,
racing time makes you think.
but what is it that untangles
Eden, or makes an Eden out of
ill. Nothing but the window sill,
the green of Springtime, so new,
enough of this folly, to be so low,
not good enough for half the world...

"...to be so low,
not good enough for half the world"., tells of the actualization of truth by the speaker that lowliness seen meaningless almost to most peoples of the world.
Nevertheless, most religions teach us humility as one of the virtues we need to exercise.
