A Successful Man Poem by Francis Duggan

You may not be every parents idea of a successful son
But if in your life you never harm anyone
And to help those in need of helping go out of your way
And perform a good deed or two every day
The town of more people like you is in need
For you are a very good person indeed
Up the so called success ladder you may not have climbed far
And you may not drive around in an expensive car
But to your aged neighbor you are helpful and kind
She says people like you not easy to find
The unsung hero of your side of the town
In your words you never put anyone down
To live a good life you do the best you can
Which is the true sign of a successful man.
