He Now Is At Peace Poem by Francis Duggan

The man who was often clock watching in life was buried yesterday
But time will not worry him where he now lay
Too busy worrying about making money for the financial security of self and family and wife
The doorway to happiness was closed in his life
Though he lived as he died a multi millionaire
He never seemed happy though his sort are not rare
It is true that money can speak every language and can buy most everything
But genuine happiness to anyone it does not bring
His sixty year old wife, children and grandchildren out of his money can have a good time
He was as unhappy as an aging man as he was when in his life's prime
It was not because of lack of money that he often felt down
As one of the sad faced sad sacks of the town
In his early seventies from life's cares and worries death gave him release
And of him one can say he now is at peace.
