You Are Doing Okay Poem by Francis Duggan

Life has it's laughter and life has it's tears
And life has it's good and it's not so good years
To most people anyway this does apply
But to make the most of your life your best you can only try
That in humanity there are all sorts does seem true to say
And most people are quite different in their own way
Suppose we would seem quite boring for want of a better name
If in our ways and our thinking we all were the same
But treat other people as you would like them to treat you
And to live and let live try to remain true
You may not be among the wealthy people of the town
But if you are willing to help one in life who is down
And perform a good deed or two every day
Then in life as a person you are doing okay.
