I Have Been Lucky I Cannot Complain Poem by Francis Duggan

Any success in my life i struggle to recall
Though i am one who has not known of many worries at all
If i said i do not sleep well at night that would be a lie
It will not be of stress related illness i will die
My best physical years in life many seasons ago
And time everyone's master has become my foe
And though on the hill of success i have not climbed far
I have been luckier in life than most people are
Of homelessness and poverty i have never known
And if i am not successful the fault is my own
But i feel as happy as happy as anyone could wish to be
And this in life is most important would you not agree
I am in good health one without physical pain
And in life i have been lucky i cannot complain.
