Proud

I’m proud of myself
Proud means good, lovely, funny, happy and some other things
But I don’t let my feelings get in the way
I’m always proud
I’m proud that I just had a baby and it was a girl
I’m proud of God keeping me alive
I’m proud of life
Proud

    This poem is very enjoyable to read because it’s important to be proud of yourself. I have very high standards for myself and should be proud of the little things I do. It’s important to be proud of who you are and who you have become. Be proud of the small things you have achieved because you have made it this far. You got this and remember the best is yet to come!
