I Have Been Lucky Of This I Won't Lie Poem by Francis Duggan

I feel i am one of the luckier of men
I have lived for many years six decades and ten
Some i went to school with not living today
Though the Reaper of lives too will come reaping my way
Yes the lady of luck she has been kind to me
I could have been born to be a refugee
Homeless and Stateless and doing it tough
And living the hard life, hungry and sleeping rough
Seventy years free of physical pain
I am one without any cause to complain
Far better people than i am at a young age have died
I feel lady luck she is on my side
Like everyone else my turn will come to die
But i have been lucky of this i won't lie.
