Pride

Like an eagle flying in the sky I could not give up my sense of pride. Losing my own sight in the blue In the intensity I saw it through. Looking down it seemed so clear It was only myself I had to fear. I knew deep down what I must do Through the darkness I saw the truth. A lesson learned as the eagle flew Live,live a life so true. Now for better things I'll strive Forget my pride, and be alive.

Brother John, if pride means you are proud of the achievements you have made in your life that’s something to be proud of. I enjoyed the read… Sis Belle
