The Mother Will Stand By Her Son Poem by Francis Duggan

A fellow not fired by ambition than him not a lazier one
But one woman always will love him the mother will stand by her son
Others criticize him for his lack of motivation but the mother her boy will defend
In her eyes he is a true champion she will always be his greatest friend.

His spouse left him and with her took their baby for to start off a new life elsewhere
She had grown tired of their poor existence of trying to get by on welfare
And though the fair minded do not condemn her for trying to do better in life
For the breakup of her son's marriage the mother she blames his ex wife.

He will always be loved by his mother in her eyes he cannot do wrong
Despite his flaws obvious to others her loyalty to him remains strong
Whilst others dismiss him as a loser one woman remains on his side
His mother sees him as a success and she speaks of her son with great pride.

A fellow not fired by ambition he sits at home and drinks every day
And whilst others see him as a failure one of him has great things to say
And at every given opportunity the praises of her boy she will sing
To her he is the World's greatest the one who deserves to be a king.
