How proud of themselves can someone actually be? <br />If someone else is observed displaying, <br />A courage with strength and identity. <br /> <br />I would think someone with integrity, <br />Would be already proud. <br />And would not allow themselves to question, <br />A proudness shown... <br />That seem to be suppressed. <br />And held inside of them to be in doubt! <br /> <br />Unless more of them are seen walking about? <br />And this encourages a proudness pronounced... <br />From them to be strutted with smiles on their mouths.<br /><br />Lawrence S.
