A MUTE WITNESS…

I have felt love and joy, laughter and respect,

I have borne pain and torture,seen despair and disrespect,

I have been harassed and belittled, suffered sarcasm and neglect,

I bear testimony to the torture of innocent souls and heard their stifled sobs,

I have also seen uncountable shades of life,

I have witnessed numerous sunrises turning into sunsets,

These dark clouds of grief do not deter me,

It is the silver lining that tempts me,

Poised elegantly like the majestic Eiffel Tower,in the City of Love,

I hold my head high,stand tall and erect,

A picture of serenity,fortitude and strength.
