Life For You Poem by Francis Duggan

You may feel the World is against you since nothing for you is going right
And life for you is a great battle every day with your demons you fight
Without a job and little prospect of such in a high unemployment town
A smile from your face seems far distant when you are financially and mentally down
Life can be a battle for some true to say
But for those born lucky it is never this way
You were not born lucky your parents live in poverty
Hard times seem to be part of your family
You are one with poor days who has learned to cope
And your positive attitude does not leave you without hope
Of far better thing in life of you ahead
There is always some light in the mind where hope is not dead
In your late twenties without any children a partner or wife
You struggle along on your roadway of life.
