From A Babe To An Adult Poem by Francis Duggan

From a babe to an adult twenty one years to grow
Yet as we age we realize so little we do know
About Life, Nature and People though of them we learn every day
We do never stop learning as some like to say
Yes we never stop learning for as long as we do live
And to receive from life we must learn how to give
We are born as helpless and as helpless we die
Like all life forms we are mortals and that is not a lie
It may do you well to remember there is always one kinder than you
But live as good as you can live that is all you can do
When you help someone out of kindness in other ways you receive
On the laws of Karma i am one who does believe
Of what makes a good person money is not the test
The most compassionate and kindest one in the town is always the best.
