Walking through this world, <br />in the footsteps of my God. <br />At first, I was frightened <br />at the things I tried to do. <br />I hoped that I would not offend him, <br />by what I said about him, <br />but his hand guided me through. <br />He made me a better man, <br />in everything I do; <br />now I take pride in what I am. <br /> <br />There is an old saying, <br />that pride goes before a fall. <br />Maybe in some ways that saying <br />might just be a little true. <br />One day I might just fall, <br />if friends desert me for what I do. <br />Until that day comes along, <br />I will write for them each day, <br />making them grin, laugh and smile, <br />for I take pride in what I am.<br /><br />David Harris<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-take-pride-in-what-i-am/
