Pride
"Accomplishments provide,
A genuine sense of pride
For having achieved what you planned,
By yourself and your own two hands
A sense of worth and satisfaction,
All because of your positive action
Re enforcing our self confidence,
And the motivation within us
It’s power derived,
Like a lions pride
Hungry for that goal in sight,
Satiated when it’s achieved alright
A confident booster it remains,
On whatever else we take aim
No preening from these thrills,
Arrogance won’t serve you well
Humility’s is the proper verse,
Guided by empathy first
Assertive dignity to raise the bar,
Proud then in who you are
Pulled towards all that you strive,
The honor we hold inside
Pride"
