The wealthiest person In the rural town <br />And his was far more than a local renown <br />A billionaire he was one known far and wide <br />Beyond the borders of his home countryside. <br /> <br />Ten years ago in is sixty fifth year his wife passed away <br />She died in his arms on a warm Summer's day <br />Painful stomach cancer slowly robbed her of her life <br />To their daughter and son a good mother and to him a loving wife. <br /> <br />A very successful man and a self made billionaire <br />One might say his type of person very rare <br />But the facts tell us so and facts never lie <br />That all people are born to eventually die. <br /> <br />In his seventy fifth year he was not even sick <br />From a massive heart attack his end it was quick <br />In the cemetery on the hill where his wife is he lay <br />In a public show of grief he was buried today.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-self-made-billionaire/
