Not As Lucky As Me Poem by Francis Duggan

There are so many people not as lucky as me
At least anyhow this is how it seems to be
I could have been born as the child of a refugee
Or of poor parents who were living in dire poverty
I have never known of the true feeling of hunger pain
And i do not have any reason about to complain
So many far worse off than me Worldwide
I do feel lady luck she has been on my side
I could be on a hospital bed flat on my back
As a victim of an accident or a heart attack
Or as a paraplegic living my days in a wheelchair
Then i could say that life to me is not at all fair
Of anything i never do go in need
One might say i am lucky quite lucky indeed.
