Like Millions Of Others Poem by Francis Duggan

Like millions of others i know all too well
That life in it's down times can be Earthly hell
And though i am a writer of mere doggerel
I am one of many with stories to tell
Of people i have known and places to i have been
And the unrivaled beauty of Nature i have seen
But the more of life i do learn of the less about it i know i do know
Far south of the place of the silver back crow
The wanderlust in me for places elsewhere
So i left the old fields for the big World out there
Yet the stay at home types perhaps happier than me
Any of the bigger World out there they have no wish to see
Content to live and grow old in the original home-place
Where his or hers is a loved and familiar face.
