Pride

Pride in self is key to keep the mind strong,
keep the chin up will move you right along.

Takes you to a place that you long to be,
let's you go and prove you are who you want to see.

Trials and tribulations get you through the day,
making it hard for the demons to sway.

Your resolve is strong and you have the strength to say,
no more temptation will rule my life today.

Very uplifting and inspiring piece here.I take pride is all that I do but sometimes I have let pride get in the way of what's right..Pride can sometimes keep you from admitting when your are wrong, keep you from asking for help when you desperately need it and it can also keep you from asking for forgiveness.Each trial and test you may go through is to make you stronger.Temptation seems to always be there but we have to put our faith in God and He will give you the strength..Great Job, GB Tyesha
