He is not one who does yearn for renown <br />And he never will be the toast of the town <br />The quiet achiever in his own quiet way <br />Of himself he never has much for to say. <br /> <br />The quiet man he is happy in his life <br />He takes care of his children and his devoted wife <br />He rise at dawn to go to work every day <br />And he is one who earns his every pay. <br /> <br />A paid member of the local football club <br />And on saturday evening at the local pub <br />He joins his mates for an hour or two of cheer <br />And he does enjoy a good laugh and a beer. <br /> <br />A family man and quite a gentle soul <br />And he has his ego well under control <br />A good friend to have those who know him well say <br />And to help others out he goes out of his way. <br /> <br />A man who does laugh loudly at a good joke <br />And a hard working person and quite a good bloke <br />He never does yearn for great wealth and fame <br />And to him all are equal and all are the same.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-quiet-man-3/
