If You Can Live As A Good Person Poem by Francis Duggan

The poet is known for writing poetry and the novelist writes novels in prose
And the rhymer is just that a rhymer but then such is life one suppose
And very few writers as we know from writing their fortune have made
But it is true every writer is needed in the Worldwide literary trade

That few become wealthy and famous from writing only happens for to be true
But having this said some will tell you we receive from life what is our due
Most writers do write as a hobby with words they like to have a play
That everyone cannot be wealthy and famous seems a fair enough thing for to say

If all of us had similar interests how very boring we would be
That everyone in the town i do live in had similar interests to me
We all have our own interests and hobbies and no two exactly the same
And though everyone in life wishes to be successful few come to know of wealth and fame

If you can live as a good person and be willing to help anyone of helping in need
Then living as one who is successful you are doing your best to succeed
Not everyone can be an elite sportsperson a great novelist or artist or poet
For to live your life as a good person you need not be considered to be one of note.
