SMILES IN THE MUD

 

I grew in the mud
In the mud daily I stood
I stood in rags and dirt
Yes! In dirty rags without a shirt
Without a shirt I smiled at the future
My future and others whom I must suture

 

In this mud I have a clearer picture
Clearer picture of tomorrow
Yes! The tomorrow that forces me to smile
To smile in dirt and debt
The debt that I must surely pay.
