Poem
A humble man is what I am before you. You see, I am not worthy to say… “Sir, may I have your daughter’s hand, But please yield to your wife’s pleas: Calm down a while as I explain what’s deep in my heart. Why deprive your daughter of a possible life of pure bliss..? Because sir, understand that love’s triumph seldom fails. You see sir, “a humble man standing before you is what I am. The love and protection you have for your daughter I understand. But you see “simple is what raised me, A simple man, with simple needs. A simple man who is able to love deeply and fairly. Yes I have made my fair share of mistakes. Might have scarred an angel or two, But who was ever born with a heart of gold..? A humble man is what I am before you. You see sir; the heart is simply out of our control. How can one ignore a beautiful feeling? A feeling that pulls hard at every fore of your soul. How at some point we all wish we could roll over and forget its undying existence. But sir, who was ever given a constraint heart..? Yes, a humble man is what I am. You see, I work sir, to earn a living You may as you have, call it slave work, Unworthy to have your daughter as my own. But you see, these hands are built, Built to struggle and earn a better life, No man was ever born fulfilled sir, And no man ever chooses to be born poor. A humble man is what I was brought up to be, But you see sir; it hurts me to see your daughter turn her face away Turn away, to hide soft tears, which ooze dejectedly from her pure eyes. What crime have I committed not to be regarded worthy..? Because you see sir, at the end of the day love’s triumph seldom fails. A humble man, with a heart that will strive, Simple ways that will overcome all tribulations, A heart that has been pulled from its place of sheer hopelessness Hands that will slave for a better life and future for your daughter. An upbringing that will sweep her off her feet every chance there is; Is what I am sir. So you see sir, please listen and understand that love’s triumph seldom fails When two hearts are willing.
