I Am A Lucky Man Poem by Francis Duggan

I am not an asset to Country or to any bank
But for my lack of money i have myself to thank
One can say as success goes i have drawn a blank
Which keeps me at the bottom of the social rank
Though my worth as a person i have reason to doubt
I have plenty in my life for to smile about
I never go to bed hungry and my health is okay
I have heaps to be thankful for it does seem this way
I've never known what it is like to be homeless or to be a refugee
There are millions of people far worse off than me
And since i am not the poorest of all in the town
I have little reason to feel sad and down
Close to my sixty fifth birthday of time quite a span
Life has been kind to me i am a lucky man.
