Humble Pie
I reckon we have all eaten
humble pie a time or two.
When we open our big mouths and
say words about someone that are not true.

Then we have to walk around with
egg on our face, sunny-side up.
We can feel like fools when we
manage all by ourselves to overflow our cup.

You can see now that this is a food poem
we get into these pickles alone or with Satan too.
We have to pray and stop listening to Satan
his words always hurt me and you.

For the main course we can
end up eating a bunch of crow.
It's better to keep your words sweet
you might have to eat them, you know.

Anyway - humble pie, egg on our face,
a big serving of crow - lets leave that menu behind.
Let's try to be more like Jesus
and many blessings we will find.
