Life's Journey Poem by Francis Duggan

Life's journey isn't always smooth and easy
And every day for you not a good day
Yet every road you travel isn't bumpy
And you meet some decent people on your way.

You met someone you fell for on your journey
And you recall as you grow old and gray
That she was wise when she said we're not suited
And find yourself another for with you I won't stay.

You finally found true love on your journey
And by raising your children she proved her love for you
A woman still with you and who still loves you
For true love's a thing that always remain true.

In sports you never wore your Country's colours
And you won't live in the sporting hall of fame
But what matter most is you help out other people
And that your good deeds have earnt you a good name.

Life's journey isn't always smooth and easy
The hills may look quite pretty from the town
But the mountain road to travel on is steep and narrow
And for miles and miles it just winds up and down.
