Behind the facade of our big egos we constantly do hide <br />And pride of five letters is only that just pride <br />And some will even tell you pride comes before a fall <br />From life we have been learning from before we learned to crawl, <br />The thing we refer to as pride not easily understood <br />A little pride is necessary but too much pride not good <br />Pride can lead to big egos and snobbish self conceit <br />A truly humble person is one you don't often meet <br />The self opinionated and self conceited never known to be rare <br />Those who promote their egos in the bigger World out there <br />From the seeds of a big ego success is often grown <br />A humble quiet achiever is one I have not known <br />A little pride is necessary and self esteem okay <br />But too much pride can lead to arrogance and that seems sad to say.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/pride-32/
