No Business Of Mine Poem by Francis Duggan

You have your opinions and this suits me fine
And what you think of me is no business of mine
We all look at others in our ways differently
And my greatest critic will always be me
With me you have nothing in common to share
Your life's aspiration is to become a billionaire
In life i suppose we do receive our due
I only hope what you wish for will for you come true
I am older than you by four decades of years
And for mistakes of the past far too late to shed tears
Like you have i had great dreams for myself in my prime
Old unrealized dreams that have faded in time
That you look on me as a failure with me is quite okay
We do all look at life in a different way.
