Though My Years Of Existence Poem by Francis Duggan

Though my years of existence has not been free of inner strife
If i die tomorrow i will have had a good life
I have never known what it is like to be homeless and living in dire poverty
So many do live life far tougher than me
Though i have never harmed anybody or been in jail
As success does go i am one who did fail
In the stakes of success i have been counted out
I do not have achievements for to talk about
As a young man i aspired for to be a poet
As one to be seen worthy of literary note
But as a writer as such i did not make the grade
It is true about poets they are born not made
And though i know what it is like to cope with inner strife
If i die tomorrow i will have had a good life.
