One I Do See Often Poem by Francis Duggan

One i do see often though not every day
In her early seventies her shoulder length hair silver gray
With a beautiful smile and a joy for to meet
One untainted by self importance or conceit
She never had children and to any man was never a wife
The man she loved in his mid twenties in a work accident lost his life
She has dedicated her life in the service of others seven years ago from her nursing job she retired
Now she volunteers her time to helping the poor to doing good one inspired
Always helping others for love not for pay
The seeds of good Karma she sows every day
If everyone were like her the Human World would be poverty free
But few with such compassion and empathy
She is one who does have the bright inner glow
And people like she is are a pleasure to know.
