Your Pride Poem by Randy McClave

Never be ashamed of your pride
No matter what people have cried,
Your feelings should not be denied
Your belief you should not ever hide.
No matter of your gender
Your thoughts and belief you should not hinder,
One thing proudly you should always remember
Do not ever surrender.
Always be proud of your race
Always with a smiling and a happy face,
With life always proudly embrace
Never, ever feel sadness or disgrace.
Be honored whose holding your hand
Be rejoicing when someone helps someone else stand,
Their rights and freedom I demand
Their belief by you or me should not be banned.
Feel pride on how you feel today
Feel honor with what you do or say,
From your belief do not be ashamed or run away
And feel pride, even if you are straight or gay.
