Dignity
Are you the friend of Humbleness?
Or the friend of Pride?
Or do you walk alongside both
Sometimes racing one
Another time
Racing the other
Do you know when to stop
When to slow down
Are you our better self
Our shadow friend
Our inner voice
That accompany us
Wherever we go
Loud inside of us
You give us courage
And preserve the faith
In all its colors
Your fragrance
Leads the way
A fragrance
Of a truthful heart
A peaceful mind
Are you the guardian angel
The unseen hand
That guides us
Through the path of life
The circle of light
That says
Here walks a Human
And what is a Human
If it was not for you
We hold on to you
Like a treasure
Tell me Dignity
Is it possible to have too much of you?
Or too little?
How much is the right measure of you?
Maybe it is too early to judge
Maybe only tomorrow can tell
