Francis Duggan Poems

Even in big cities the beauty of Nature you see every day
The nearest park to you not that far away
Where on the higher branches of every tall tree
Wildborn birds sing for to proclaim territory
...

Quitea beautiful looking woman when in her life's prime
Though this is going back many Seasons in time
Before time that ages did become her foe
When she married the late Michael Murphy many years ago
...

Few in life know of it easy itdoes seem this way
The challenge in living most know of every day
For the majority of people never an easy pay
That life does not owe us only true tosay
...

For the financial misfortune that befalls you others you well may blame
This is passing the buck for want of a better name
In business you win some and lose some it does go this way
And it looks like that you were the loser today
...

He likes to complain of his terrible life
How he has suffered financially and in other ways due to his nasty ex wife
His son and daughter in their early twenties does not talk to him he feels hard done by
He cannot seem tosucceed in life though quite hard he does try
...

So many people to life have come to and have gone
But no matter who comes or goes life does go on
People are born to life for to die
But that life goes on forever is not a lie
...

The evening is warm of only a slight breeze
On a weather temperature high of over thirty degrees
In the parkland after their barbeque Christmas dinner the families cricket play
On a typical enough indeed evening of Christmas day
...

The past just a memory of what used to be
And the future is unknown to you and to me
But we can only live in the now and the now is today
And the seconds of our lives keep ticking away
...

Though them you will remember until you breathe your last
You only have memories of your friends of the past
With them you socialized in the town far away
Though this isgoing back in time many a day
...

Leave it to others to compete for money and fame
So many does wish for to become a great name
Just leave it to them for success to compete
And for attention where their sort socialize and meet
...
