In This Respect Poem by Francis Duggan

Before the baby walks the baby does crawl
In this respect what applies to one applies to all
Including the child of the monarch and the child born into poverty
Part of our Human Nature would you not agree
And for everyone too there is a last night and day
And death makes all people equal in every way
The town's wealthiest person like the poorest eventually must die
That death is the equalizer is not a lie
Three score and ten years is known to be the average human life span
And in most cases the woman by a few years does outlive the man
No matter what you achieve your life's journey will end
Life's Reaper never treats anyone as a friend
Before the baby walks the baby does crawl
In this respect what applies to one does apply to all.
