Our many faces will you see,
Veiled in unmatched secrecy?
Though many may refer to us,
We choose to be anonymous.

Good fortune�s shared itself with you.
Its timeliness has found but few.
Freely give, because you must,
A tribute to anonymous.

The joker works his trade, so true.
Slips in, delivers blows to you.
Left wounded, lying in the dust,
He laughs within, anonymous.

Shyness has its hold on you.
Others rise and make ado
With pomp and braggadocio fuss.
Real gifts are still anonymous.

Humility, the hero�s friend when
All come forth to shout, amen!
To you, who shows not cowardliness,
Your strength shines through, anonymous.

Some faces in the mirror, you see,
Without or with humility.
With us, you�ll join the ancient trust
In your choice to remain anonymous.
