In Their Compassion and Kindness

They may never be of the very well known
But the seeds of good karma in their kindness is sown
In the good deeds they perform for them no financial gain
And recognition as such they feel no desire to attain
Their sort never become the toasts of the town
The people always willing for to help the financially down
And though few ever willing their praises to sing
Some joy to so many poor people they do bring
If everyone were like them there would not be poverty
Of war and malnutrition and homelessness the World would be free
They ought to be worthy of far greater note
Since of helping poor people their time and talents they devote
In their compassion and kindness great people indeed
And of more of their sort the human World is in need.
