Tears of Laughter

They said I would fall,

And I did

They laughed at me 

And threw some mud

 

Abuses, refusals, 

Daily part and parcel 

Seemed to become too heavy

For me to carry any further

 

A chide, a rebuke,

Seemed to hurt me so

My blood was usurped by the thirsty ground,

But there was none in me

They said I wouldn't get up

And would remain forever crippled 

But this time, they were wrong -

I made them wrong

 

I dusted myself and cleansed myself

Enriched my inner soul

Got back walking till success came

And embraced me for my efforts

 Now I share a house with success,

And will do so forevermore

The look on the face of those who told no,

Makes me laugh till tears roll down!
