Like Most Poem by Francis Duggan

Like most for every friend you have you surely have a foe
And like most the ups and downs of life you too have come to know
And it would seem from your address and your side of the town
For you tis a stiff uphill climb to success and renown,
Like most for you no easy pay you struggle to survive
And only your great lust for life is keeping you alive
You've had to cope with tragedy but your cross you bravely bear
And despite the hard times you've been through you somehow hang in there,
You may be one of many but in ways you are quite rare
For you refuse to feel suicidal in your moments of despair
Nothing easy ever in life has come your way
And may the last day be the hardest day you have been known to say
Like most life for you is a battle but you refuse to give in
But a wise one once said that every loss is one nearer to a win.
