Meek -- But Mighty

Sometimes daughters
of the South,
are too sweet and light;
individuals who are weak,
lacking in might,
reluctant to fight
when the Cause is right.
Acting meek, while
standing up for oneself--
what a challenge.
After centuries of
half the race being
put down, told to
be seen and not heard,
(with a few exceptions)
can make one want
to go overboard
to oneself express.
Thank God for the Word--
which helps many
of us to keep words in,
and not commit the sin
of not being loving enough.
Sometimes this is tough.
But there is our Hero
for all time,
our Exemplar sublime,
who though his rebuke
was something one could
not have wanted to be
on the receiving end of,
was the most loving man
that ever walked the earth.

Being daughters (and sons)
of the King,
shouldn't we be able
to express meekness and might?
This we followers of Christ
will increasingly need to do.
