A Dent To Your Pride Poem by Francis Duggan

A truism from the past worthy of recall
The familiar old saying pride comes before a fall
And nothing more humbling to you than a dent to your pride
When your ego from shame it has nowhere for to hide
The loss of pride it can be quite a humbling thing
And in the mind of the proud one be a mental sting
A loss of pride does come with a loss of face
As few proud people can accept being humbled with grace
Of a little pride everyone is in need
But too much of it can be the seed
Of arrogance and haughtiness and it does seem sad to say
That there are many of these sorts in the World of today
But a dent to your pride to you may not be such a bad thing
As a little humility to you it may bring.
