Pride

If pride comes before destruction Look what humility can do If you ask for help when you need it the most How people will look at you! My husband and I have recently encountered A situation in which we needed money We asked our church and they gave it to us But it sure makes me feel all funny I decided last night, I’ll never ask for help Never ask for help again Humility makes you into a looser But pride makes you feel like you win Maybe I’m wrong and should be more humble Maybe I should swallow my pride But it sure hurts to ask for help I would have rather died. Humility came before destruction The destruction of my ego It is hard to admit my faults and needs Why? I’ll never know.
