One Can Only Try To Be A Better Person Poem by Francis Duggan

One Can Only Try To Be A Better Person



One can only try to be a better person and hurtful things of or to others never do say
And never no never do make fun of others and if you can do one good deed every day
Remember you or I not the only people on this Planet there is more to life than me, myself and I
The greatest of people are born to be mortals we live for awhile and eventually die
And what is success and how does one define it a truly successful person is not easy to find
In some ways you are lacking though you may be rich and famous if to others you never are generous and kind
The Human World is far bigger than any individual and our biological clocks ever ticking away
Our life span in time does seem a brief existence for each one of us there's a last night and day
Nature is the only one I know of who will live on forever all of her life forms have on them a time span
Three decades ago I was still in my prime years and younger people now look on me as an old man
I am not one of those who is seen as successful but the judgements of others does not bother me
I only wish that I could be of more help to others for I too am sadly lacking in empathy
Who is or is not a successful person that is something that is hard so very hard to define
On such you will find many different opinions and your's is so different quite different to mine.
