I Am One Of Many Poem by Francis Duggan

I am one of many born and raised elsewhere
Who went to see life in the big World out there
But wherever you go to life's challenges you will meet
And one does not find gold on any town or city street
Though very few dreams have been known to come true
We all have our own dreams in life to pursue
The stay at home fellow i envy in a way
Where he is born and raised in he is happy to stay
He falls in love with a local girl and she becomes his wife
And together they raise their children and grow old in life
Happy in his hometown i envy him indeed
For to see the big World in him there is not the need
I went to see the big World out there but so little of it i did see
Yet the stay at home fellow is happier than me.
