Have You Ever Thought Poem by Francis Duggan

Have you ever thought about who you might be
Do you know the real you the one you call me?
For the real self is one few are priveleged to know
We all do grow older but few of us spiritually do grow.

Without proclaiming your good deed all over the town
Can you help someone who is financially down
And not even mention to one of your good deed
Of how you did help one of help quite in need.

On how we grow older we choose our own way
Some in hair dyes and anti ageing creams cover their wrinkles and gray
Whilst some with less pride like to age naturally
The physical type of person they are not at all hard to see.

To your higher self you can only be true
And always give credit to where credit is due
Your humility and kindness joy to you will bring
And leave it to others your praises to sing.
