Is That In Itself Poem by Francis Duggan

She may never make the cover of New Idea
But one of the town's unsung is a heroine to me
The one who does many good deeds every day
She works for the town's homeless without any pay
A grandmother and widow in her sixty ninth year of life
To her long deceased husband she was a good wife
So gentle in her ways and free of conceit
One of the most caring and kindest one would wish to meet
A beautiful person in every way
Any unkind things of others she never does say
Short gray hair the wrinkles of time on her beautiful face
One can say of her she is ageing with grace
She works on behalf of the poor of the town
Is that in itself not a claim to renown?
