Today I was depressive, was really in bad mood <br />Downcast and demeaned, I was feeling no good <br />Darkness surrounded me, I hadn’t a place to hide <br />Just then something happened, and made me laugh so wide. <br /> <br />Here was one disheveled man sitting on the sidewalk <br />His palm was stretched barren, to show he was out of luck <br />As I dropped a generous coin, in doing so paused a while <br />I saw the guy’s twinkling eyes, his face beaming with smile. <br /> <br />He keeps his face always that way, a smile chiseled on it <br />Never minds the bad weather, sitting in the rain and heat <br />His smile worn broad on the face, he does it with wondrous ease <br />A man with a home and a decent life, why can’t I do it please!<br /><br />Pradip Chattopadhyay<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/if-he-can-do-it/
