  *^^*  Pride *^^*

          
Our hidden self lives deep inside, which oft' at times refuse to show
Reflections of a gentle heart, ashamed to let true feelings grow
No kind words, no small display of love escapes from cruel tongues
It centers on our ego's views, without the thought of righteouness  

*^^**^^**^^**^^**^^**^^**^^**^^**^^**^^**^^**^^**^^**^^**^^**^^**^^*
 
Pride is the name of that dark side, which holds the reins of selfishness
Which sometimes lead to bitterness, and can only cause regretfulness
In short, unleashed it will destroy and will consume our peacefulness
Turn then ye children of God's grace, be true in heart and also face

*^^**^^**^^**^^**^^**^^**^^**^^**^^**^^**^^**^^**^^**^^**^^**^^**^^*

There will not be space for hidden pride as our dear Lord will reside
Allow that secret self to glow, nurished by the steady flow
Of God's pure love that penitrate not only mind, but heart and soul
To shine your best in beauty's eyes, like many stars of heaven old
