Pride and Integrity

Pride and Integrity
Bring clarity
To your inner self
Known as myself

What is your pride worth
It exists from birth
It is self love
A gift from above

Pride can be your inner voice
When you have to make a choice
It can make you weak
When happiness you seek

Pride can bring happiness
Pride can bring sadness
It can lead to regret
Hoping to forget

When pride is your guide
It is a bad ride
Causing you to lose
Totally confused

Take pride in the positive
Learning to forgive
Take pride in your family
Living together happily

Taking the road less traveled
No longer unraveled
As pride is restored again
Thanks to God, Amen
