Oh Lucky The Person Poem by Francis Duggan

Oh lucky the person who does laugh every day
For laughter is known to keep worries away
The serious fellow though time on his side
At quite a young age of cancer has died
Though not short of money in his mind for happiness no space
He was never seen with a smile on his face
Laughter the shield against cancer and stress
Was something that he did not seem to possess
His young son and daughter without him doing okay
They have a new father in their lives today
She no longer miss him his widowed wife
Since she has a wealthy middle aged man in her life
At peace in the cemetery his last remains lay
Had he known how to laugh he might be living today.
