The Need For Recognition Poem by Francis Duggan

It is in the babe before the babe learns to crawl
The need for recognition it is in us all
We all do need a boost to our self esteem
Recognition can do wonders for us it does seem
To be best on your street and the best in the town
The crave in us all is for greater renown
They do seem to be siblings money and fame
Without them yours will never become a well known name
The humble lose out in the world of today
Self promotion is the in thing it does seem this way
Even shy people some form of recognition do need
Without the crave for recognition in life we could not succeed
Such a need is in you and such a need is in me
This is how it is and it always will be.
