Most people struggle with the concept of what it truly means to be meek

The dictionary lists it's synonyms as tame, mild, bland, docile and weak

Certainly not attributes that would make you attractive to those you meet

Those who would not in their wildest dreams consider turning the other cheek

The bible: however, describes meekness as a virtue, a completely different spin

A fruit of the spirit which Jesus had in it's fullness that was fully resident in Him

If we but emulated His kind of meekness the world wouldn't be in the trouble it's in

Nor would we through the emotion of anger be as susceptible to it's call to sin

Over the generations this Godly attribute has been bred out of us: so, we can compete

And been replaced with false humility which before God is a subtle form of deceit

Saying one thing to others while doing another that's why most of our talk is cheap

Making us the slaves to our fleshly desires that births a love in us that's only skin deep

For without meekness not only our bodies but our emotion become hard to discipline

Seeing all from our point of view, we tend to discount all else that to it is not akin

Causing us to rush into battle armed with only pride that none of us on our own can win

A step above leaving home without our credit card and personal ID number, our pin

Biblical meekness is then best defined in an heavenly sense as power in control

Not motivated by raging anger that we can't control that overpowers both spirit and soul

Guided by the light of meekness' beacon: so, we don't run aground on anger's shoals

Yet able to stand our ground, filled with courage, in the face of evil, to be absolutely bold

And if this wasn't enough, Jesus tells us that only the meek will inherit the earth

Those who will share in His inheritance, by cosmic standards a treasure of great worth

Available to all who acknowledge Him as Lord and Savior: thus, granting us new birth

As we humbly submit to His call, laying all else aside: thus, then able to put Him first

Inheriting a restored earth, a new Eden, where God has crushed the devil under His feet

An open invitation from heaven where all the meek will be assigned some of the best seats

Celebrating with Jesus, our groom and we His bride, ready to sit down at the wedding feast

Unhindered by former earthly burdens at rest in His arms where we'll find eternal peace.
