Limerick

In a crowd where the hopeful convene,
He spoke of the blessings unseen.
“Blessed are those who weep,
For their joy they will reap,
And the humble shall rise like a dream.”

But woe to the proud and the vain,
Who seek only fortune and gain.
For their laughter will fade,
In the shadows they’ve made,
While the meek find true peace in the pain.
