pleased not proud

It's not hard to be pleased not proud.
Once you have a realistic sense of how
your luck turned out; all the doubt
you've come through unscathed
when it could have gone other ways
so easily, you have spent most days.
Is credit due you for this? Not much.
Yet you must admit you are pleased,
not proud of how you
add here and there
a spectacular touch.
