I’ve had a change of lifestyle
Through the last 40 years
I’ve walked through hills and valleys
I’ve walked through hills and valleys
I’ve shed a lot of tears
My life before was earthly
Filled with drugs and drink
My mind was in the gutter
My tongue spewed only stink
But then I met my Savior
He washed my sins away
He’s changed my life completely
Now mercy fills my days
There’s still vestigial sins
That haunt my tongue and mind
Every day I ask the Lord
To free me from my pride
For pride us what will keep me
From giving all to Him
When I control this heart of mine
My transformation wins.

My wife is my best Pride detector! My struggles with pride are so much less tedious with her by my side.

To be honest, I’m not religious. But your poem is beautiful and I agree that pride is something that often keeps people trapped in negative situations. Thank you for sharing your truth.
