Stepping Over Pride Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Trying to be open and honest in all I have left to do is
easy, filling me with peace and lifting a heavy burden
from my shoulders.

Forever feeling freedom, flying in it's realms elates me,
taking it all in stride, reaching out, touching someone's
heart helps to know we are none of us alone.

Falling asleep with pride lying at my feet, total honesty
filling my being, getting up, stepping over pride, leaving
it in the dirt, no longer having any use for it.
