Sad Faced Jim Poem by Francis Duggan

Despite what many may say life for some is not always fair
At least not for those who have to live with their dark moods of despair
Of how it feels to be happy they do not know
Lucky those who do know of the warm inner glow

Young Jim in his early twenties he always looks sad
A quiet and shy person in him nothing bad
Though he does not have a friend or he does not have a foe
And he never does smile when he says hello

He is known by the nickname of Sad Faced Jim
And nothing at all for to dislike in him
Though he is one who is quite often mentally down
He is not disliked by anyone on his side of the town

He does not have children or a girlfriend or a wife
And he may remain as single all of the days of his life
But so many like him with depression in the World of today
And this does seem a sad thing for to have to say.
