Poetry: The proud man

Poetry: The proud man

The proud man holds his head high
Because he never begs or steals
And I'll tell you why
He's arduous, industrious, and honest in his deals

Shows compassion for those who have less
He stands on his own two feet
And maintains his morals under duress
The proud man is also complicated and sweet

A man who never accepts defeat
Or charity from anyone
He chance's to meet
All the while toiling and sweating under the sun

The proud man doesn't lack humility
He just controls his vanity
He takes pride in the work of his hands
And hides not from life's demands

    The man collected the baby in its arms,

    And smiled.

    It was a girl,

    With pink cheeks,

    And soft, peachy, skin;

    He smiled at the
