Straight - Up! (I'm Tall)

To the reader. We may forget those things that we truly OWN as OURS. A great man once said:"if you don't stand up for something, then... you will fall for anything"! The times - that we live in now, can often be quite challenging. The Spirit of Gratitude & Genuine THANKFULNESS in the Heart will bring things back into proper focus. The NOBLE-HEART "organic", is created to be; and to do wonderful things for all-of-us. The heart is OURS to have forever, it belongs to each of us. We all can be more-careful how we "choose" to use it. We recall the words of Psalm 24:1:"THE earth is the LORD'S, and the fullness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein". Thanks to all and enjoy the read.

Humility ... STANDS  -  My   Heart   -   Up!
Straight   And   Tall !
Without   making  My  Minds-Head  shrink  or  think ...

That  it  has  to  Bend-Down  &  over ...
and  over,... and  over   at   all .

It  is  NOT   a   weakness ...
as   some  might -  appear that  it's  to  be.
ONLY the "direct-opposite"...A "Power", to help us be free .

Humility ... is  Strength  &  Character, Integrity  you  see .
This - is  what   HUMILITY  -   "Be" .

Humility   is   NOT  some  "silly"  thing .
It  is  to  "Be" ... the  Foundation of Joy & Peace ;
That   makes   "Life - Songs"  Sing .

What   does  this  mean ... to  "Be...",   or   NOT ... ?
Well get-on Board ...this  is  the  Emotional-Social Fashion;
That  is   so ... oh ..., so  HOT ... and  filled-with  Action .

Humility ... STANDS -  My  Heart  -  Up!
Straight  And   Tall !

Without "shrinking" my body down over or "shrinking" my mind.
Just so... for me to(o) -  let others NOT FEEL SO small,  or 
un-important .... for ... "most - of  THEIR  time that's  all ...
Straight -  Up  I'm  TALL,   I'm   TALL   that's   all .

Humility ... STANDS  -  My   Heart - Up !
Straight   &  Tall ...  Straight - Up!
I'm   Tall ...   that  is ...   all - Amen .

Wonderful flow and rhyme and inspiring message.

Perhaps from her load, but the woman pictured seems to be slouching a bit. Your poem rings true. It is wonderful to have humility and stand tall at the same time. Some tall standers throw humility out the window when they speak. That is truly unfortunate. For their mere stature gives them power and humility is their best approach.

I have always been rather short and small of stature.

When a person can stand with their heart straight up and be humble, that is quite an accomplishment. So is this poem dear poetess, thanks for sharing.

Robin Ouzman Hislop's poetry is certainly in dialogue with some of the key architects of the 'poetics of indeterminacy' – both the Modernist strands represented by the likes of Beckett and Stein, and the postmodernist strands represented, initially,
