A Good Person To Know Of Poem by Francis Duggan

Her shoulder length hair silver gray she is aging with grace
And despite the age wrinkles she has a beautiful face
She never had children to any man never was a wife
She worked as a State Registered Nurse in her working life
In her seventy second years she walks at least four kilometers with her black labrador every day
Through the suburban streets and home via the park by the bay
Of her working life she has happy and sad stories for to tell
Of her services to humanity to the frail and unwell
On working on behalf of the poor and unwell in a selfless way
Her reward for such to say the least was not good pay
Kindhearted and charming and untainted by conceit
A nicer person than she is one could not wish to meet
She takes her dog for a long walk every day
Through the streets of the suburbs and home through the park by the bay.
