What Is Your's You Never Should Deny Poem by Francis Duggan

We cannot model ourselves on others for if we are not ourselves we only live a lie
You've got your own ideas and personality and what is your's you never should deny
Some day dream of becoming wealthy and famous but such dreams as we know seldom ever do come true
For the majority of the World's wealth as we too well know will always remain with the wealthy few.

'Tis nice to dream but don't leave your dreams rule you just be the person you were meant to be
There's far wealthier people than you far less happy and some happier than you live in poverty,
'Tis true that wealthy people can be happy though money happiness will never buy
I know one in his sixties he is homeless and he seems that much happier than I.

Just be yourself and though 'tis nice to daydream in your daydreams you never should believe
For you could end up very disappointed when your own self you happen to deceive
Not many people can boast of a million and more than a million paupers for every billionaire
But such is life as has been said by many and everything in life is not always fair.

Like you I should not model myself on others for you are you and I must remain me
And though 'tis nice to admire and to daydream we ought to cling to our identity
To grow wealthy doesn't mean you will grow happy for happiness doesn't ever come that way
I know one in his sixties he is homeless and he feels happy and laughs every day.
