The Wise Words Of A Wise Person Poem by Francis Duggan

The wise words of a wise person i do recall
That your biggest worry to another would seem small
Many have far bigger worries than you
Though you are not or will never be one of the well to do
And though you may feel you are one born not to win
You are luckier than many you have a home to live in
So many poor people are sleeping rough tonight
And for them mere survival is an uphill fight
True enough life for you is not easy you do know it tough
But you are not one who does have to sleep rough
You may know how it feels to be financially down
And though you may never be one of the wealthy of the town
You have a home to live in and you need not walk far
For to meet one who is poorer and far worse off than you are.
