Fred Hollows Poem by Francis Duggan

Fred Hollows was a good and caring person and the world needs more of his kind
He helped many poor who had cataracts without him they would have gone blind
The true worth of any great person not fully realized till they have gone
Still in the Fred Hollows foundation the work of the great man lives on.

There ought to be more People like him such good causes he did embrace
He did not judge People by their colour or classify them by their race
He made life much better for many and to philanthrophy he was true
And for humanitarian causes he did as much as he could do.

Fred Hollows a man in a billion and his type of person so rare
He could have had millions in money but his gifts with the poor he did share
One of the last of the miracle workers to so many sight he restored
Without him they would live in darkness since surgery they could not afford.

Fred Hollows will always be remembered as the man who to many brought light
To poor People afflicted by cataract he restored the great gift of sight
His work lives on in his foundation and his legacy will remain
He worked on behalf of poor people and his likes we may not see again.
