None Ought To Deny Poem by Francis Duggan

I know i do not grow wiser as i grow old
But of so many others the same can be told
Yet for my every mistake in life i have had to pay
That life pays us our dues it does seem this way
From life we receive what happens to be our due
In most cases anyway this does seem true
And though losing is a thing anyone does not choose
For one for to win others have to lose
For my lack of success i have myself to blame
I have wasted too much time daydreaming of wealth and fame
That daydreaming does not make things happen with that i do agree
For an example of this look no further than me
In life i have had my chances i left them go by
That for success one must work hard none ought to deny.
