Francis Duggan Poems

To live as a good person is all i wish to be
And help anyone who does need help from me
Each day brings me closer to my life's journey's end
I am at a time of life when i need every friend
...

I write rhymes for enjoyment but in truth i can tell
That from writing i have never done financially well
I send my rhymes to anblog by others to be read
If i depended on them to live of hunger i would be long dead
...

That greed is addictive only true to say
The millionaire dreams of becoming a billionaire one day
The demon greed many in life does pursue
That much always craves more happens to be true
...

So little about Nature of i can claim to know
But my wonder of her only does seem to grow
But every day of her we do learn something new
And her lessons in truth are not in the few
...

There are winners and losers in the World every day
It is all about winning and will always be this way
Of the losers not good enough many do say
And for every winner a lusty hooray
...

There are winners and losers in the World every day
It is all about winning and will always be this way
Of the losers not good enough many do say
And for every winner a lusty hooray
...

Though not all of Nature's creatures held in high esteem
They do serve some purpose or so it does seem
On some species us humans wish only ill
And given the opportunity them gladly would kill
...

We all have our challenges and trials on our journeys in life
And we all do have our moments of inner strife
But it does matter that to those in need of help we have been a friend
Since kindness and compassion does matter at our life's journey's end
...

Dino has lived in Australia for most of his life
Ten times a great grand dad Jody his Australian wife
Passed from life of cancer a decade ago
Which left the poor man under a cloud of woe
...

The sky over Yangery sunless and gray
And it looks like that there will not be much sunshine today
In the brown and dry paddocks that look rather exposed and bare
There is not enough of grass for to sustain a hare
...
