I Do Know That Babies Poem by Francis Duggan

I do know that babies on bushes do not grow
But so little of Nature and life i do know
Yet i learn a little from life every day
We never stop learning as some like to say
For our lessons in life there is some price to pay
This is how it is and it will always be this way
But our successes or lack of such all the same to us in the end
Since we are mere mortals why otherwise pretend
Does it matter if some dismiss me as a fool
Or if i was the dunce of the primary school
Others have their opinions and this suits me fine
And what they think of me is their business not mine
The only form of success i crave in my life span
Is that i should live as a far kinder man.
