Everybody At Some Time Poem by Francis Duggan

Everybody at some time knows of a maudlin day
When from the World they feel like hiding away
When in public they choke back the tears that yearn to flow
Of such a day everyone does seem to know
For your blessings in life at most times you feel glad
But today without reason to you do feel very sad
And you wonder to yourself why this should be
Since of financial or other worries you are relatively free
Today you feel quite sad and mentally down
One of the unhappy people of the town
That we all have our off days does seem fair to say
The human mind can work in the strangest way
Though you have not felt like this for a few years
Everybody at some time feel the need to shed tears.
