He Is One I Meet Sometimes Poem by Francis Duggan

He is one i meet sometimes and not every day
Can you help me with money he always does say
I do not ask for that much a silver coin or two
Whatever you give i will be grateful to you
A balding man in his fifties in his dark hair some gray
He does not look shabby he dresses okay
I always give him a few coins he thanks me with a smile
Quite low in self esteem and he seems free of guile
For to beg for money he must be poor indeed
And of more than a few coins he is surely in need
A very poor fellow in the supposed to be middle class area of the big town
Life is never easy for the financially down
I do see him sometimes when walking the street
And he always asks me for money whenever we meet.
