Yes, I'm proud <br />For I'm being loved <br />Though my life <br />Is a walk on double-edge sharp knife. <br /> <br />Yes, I'm proud <br />For I'm a lady with a Lamp <br />Though I'm blind and clouded with gloom, <br />The people don't dash or lose the'r bloom. <br /> <br />Yes, I'm proud <br />For I'm a Queen of Smiles, <br />True, I'm blessed with two cute blossoms <br />That glow my dark phases of life always! <br /> <br />Yes, I'm proud <br />For I live in this miserable world, <br />Why, yes! It is beautiful and honey at heart! <br /> <br />Yes, I'm proud <br />For I am yet honored by the crowds; <br />Though I'm clad in rags of wounded life! <br /> <br />Yes, I'm proud <br />For I love to live and live to love <br />Though I'm constantly <br />Fried and ground! <br /> <br />Yes, I'm proud <br />For I possess the content abound <br />Though I'm worth of no penny pound; <br />What if I'm no wise and fairy <br />When my heart is Crowning Glory? !<br /><br />sasikala kamandula<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/yes-i-m-proud/
