Such Is Life After All Poem by Francis Duggan

Compared to many my problems does seem few
Though to that you might say tell us something that's new
Though physically my better days in life long gone
Not hungry or homeless i keep on keeping on
I am one who does not suffer any ache or pain
So i am not one who has cause to complain
So many homeless and hungry and of helping in need
Compared to them i am quite lucky indeed
Life's not meant to be easy as J B Shaw once did say
But for the privileged minority it is not this way
The eldest son of the monarch was born to be king
And hardship to him is an alien thing
Yet my biggest problem to some would seem small
And one would have to suppose such is life after all.
