Francis Duggan Courage Poems

I'm not brave or known for courage I am allergic to fear
Of the violent and aggressive I am happy to stay clear
And far too many violent people in the World of today
Who don't respect the rights of others that does seem quite sad to say.

For years he has heard loud voices in his head
And often quite often he wishes he were dead
His prime years behind him his better days gone
But his will to live it keeps him keeping on.
...

If he should write his life story a million copies of it he'd sell
He has known great disappointments life for him is Earthly hell
Lost his wife and their two young children in a car smash he lives with that tragedy
But he has got on with his life and few as courageous as he.
