Wealthy man you wonder why I am treasured <br />Being not a man of means or clout <br /> A crumb of Rhomb or Gold I live without <br />Yet you stroke your head in fear <br /> <br />You die to know why I am treasured <br />If I told you would you believe? <br />It is in the gentleness of my soul <br />And in this tamed strength I have <br />Yet I am confidently a man <br /> <br />You wonder the hush-hush about me <br />If I told you would you believe? <br />It is the peace in my voice <br />Yet my love comes roaring at you <br />It is in the broadness of my shoulders <br />And in this cool gait I have <br />Yet I am confidently a man<br /><br />Hamilton Odunze<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-am-confidently-a-man/
