Be Proud

Be proud of who you are,
don't waste time being jealous or rude.
Be kind when you speak of others,
you'll get nowhere with a bad attitude.

Be proud of what you can do,
don't forfeit your chances to excel.
Take pride in the things around you,
be confident and you will do well.

Be proud of your family roots,
it's the one thing you cannot change.
You can choose your friends but not your family,
be respectful and proud to carry the name.

Be proud of your accomplishments
no matter how small the praise,
Do the best you can do with what you have,
you'll be rewarded in so many ways
