Much Better Times For You Poem by Francis Duggan

You may be homeless in the poor side of the town
Despairing of life and financially down
But life is for living why wish you were dead
And much better times for you may be ahead
On Saturday evening in lotto a twenty million jackpot for someone to win
For a small amount of money invested your luck may be in
The Lady of Luck may be smiling your way
You've got to be in it to win it as some like to say
Disadvantaged from birth life for you does not seem fair
Of setbacks you have suffered more than your share
Born of disadvantaged parents from your very first day
On your hard road of life you have battled on you way
But hang in there in life never wish yourself dead
Much better times for you may well be ahead.
