Take A Lowly Pride

We all start
From form zero
That's what I know.

Why take much pride
When we came none
And nothing else.

Why look upon
Up everyone
If we are none.

We owe one life
Not brag have we
In all this life.

Hello Hugo, I agree we should not brag what we have in life. First of bragging gets a person nowhere. It makes the other person feel badly about themselves. Much love here. /Darlene/

You're exactly right, Darlene. Self-pride is wrong when it's destructive. Good pride worth lead us to repentance. That is godly. I love what you said, Darlene./Hugo.
