I'm going stronger and stronger <br />I'm growing taller and taller <br />With each and every failure I savor <br />With the wounds on my naked heart I preen <br />Like a lofty tree with Axe-made hews <br />That stops not sprouting new leaves <br />Nor buildings it's trunk's thews <br />Nor doling out, for free, sweet fruits<br /><br />sathya narayana<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/walking-tall-2/
