I Do Know Something Of Life Poem by Francis Duggan

I do know something of life since i have lived for many years
And i am not ashamed to say i have shed tears
For family and friends i will never more see
I loved them in life they were precious to me
Suppose in life to enjoy the good times one must know of the sad
As the wise one did say one must take the good days with the bad
And though i cannot say i have lived in Earthly Hell
Of life i am one who has stories to tell
I do know something of life i have lived for quite awhile
And from where i was born i live many a mile
And since on Karma i am one of those who believe
What life has to give me i gladly receive
I do know something of life that much of it i can say
And i do learn something new from living every day.
