A Marvellous And Beautiful Person Poem by Francis Duggan

I'd like for to meet her more often since she never fails to make my day
A marvellous and beautiful person though the years has left her hair gray
Her smile is a thing of great beauty it lights up her beautiful face
If everyone were only like her to live in this town would be a far better place
A widow in her early seventies her son and grandchildren live in a distant town
To be kind and be helpful to others is her one just claim to renown
I've never seen her sulky or moody or out of sorts in any way
She only looks for the good in others and of anyone bad never say
She has become my inspiration a woman I greatly admire
And I cannot help but sing her praises to self betterment me she inspire
Her wisdom and her knowledge of life her type of person very rare
So down to earth, modest and humble and one spiritually aware
I do not see her very often the one I feel happy to meet
She lives near the town's shopping centre but I wish that she lived on our street.
