Pride

Pride, the fire that burns within,

A passion that lights up the heart and the grin.

It's the confidence to stand tall, to be true,

The courage to be yourself, in all you do.

Pride is the voice that speaks out and stands,

The shield that protects, in every man and woman's hands.

It's the belief in oneself, the courage to lead,

The power to overcome, in every deed.

For pride is not just a feeling, but a way of life,

A way to strive, to succeed and survive.

It's the drive to be better, to make a difference,

To leave a mark, that endures and persists.

So let us embrace our pride with grace,

With humility and kindness, in every place.

For pride is a gift, a blessing to be shared,

A light to be spread, for all that's cared.
