I live among the holy ones

There are so many great ones on the earth
Whose hearts are made of wider berth
Who with devotion deny themselves
And in tender humility
Live it out

A thousand daily prayers they meet
Undaunted by the task
In whom love and devotions seed did grew
And in these lives, new life also

Yet seldom a whisper of the self
Unless in frailty to confess
A noble deed left un-done
An attitude of unrest

To live my life among such saints
To enjoy their love
To feel their grace
To have their noble hand in mine
To find God’s heart in them refined

In the wisdom of humility
God has given such to you and me
Of whom the world does not deserve
Hearts that love and unnoticed serve

Broken, humble, loving saints
Who lack the praise of men
Yet in their daily life obscured
Heaven does observed
