Just To Be A Better And A Kinder Person Poem by Francis Duggan

Just to be a better and a kinder person is all that I ever aspire to be
That others in big brother's eyes are more successful is something that does never bother me
On me the biological clock is ticking and time on anyone never does wait
And I feel that I have a lot less of energy as I move closer to my use by date
I'm past caring what others do say of me as long as what they say of me is truth
Some people with their words can be quite callous they do not have in them the gift of ruth
I only want to be a better person to practice the truth in live and let live
To look ahead and put bygones behind me and those who have sinned against me in any way forgive
Today is nearly gone at midnight it will be history we are only six hours from a brand new day
The journey though life for you it can be worthwhile if you can help some of need of help on your way
It is so easy for to be judgemental too many judgemental people in the World out there
Too many far too many selfish people of their own feelings only seem aware
I only want to be a better person to many such a wish must seem quite small
And we'll drink a toast to kindness and compassion and to those who believe on a fair go for all.
