Countless few Good people still do exist Difficulties apart , never to resist Seek no alibi or excuse Not in their nature to refuse Helping others is their goal sure Any need they have some cure Extend magnanimously any aid Uncertain it will be returned or paid Does not matter whether friend or foe Aim to grant relief from any woe Even unknown or tital stranger Thiught of fear of loss poses no danger Extended help is debt written off Ingratitude is reason to sneeze and cough Even without a request, sense the pain Go out of the way for no personal gain They are not filthy rich to share Have empathy sympathy for humanity to care They are rich with few limited wants Not dissuaded by criticism and taunts Satisfied and content with their need Increased wants do not meet their greed plants and animals get treatment same Not seeking popularity and fame Benevolence is silently loud In faith spirituality up im above the cloud Trust in goodness taken for a ride Thoughts of deceit are kept aside Searching question never raised of need Fountains of plenty to be to be tapped indeed In desperate moments a knock on the door Feel it is Divine who seeks in the form of poor Their source of happiness is too do good Wiping tears of needy , their nourishing food You wonder why they did not long live There is wide scope an opportunity to give Only death can grant paradise as reward Death also confirms hell as form of award Appreciation flows from hearts and mind Not inscription on tomb stones left behind Society may not raise monuments to their glory Or books' , seminars etc. to convey their story Their works and memories will last Vivid in present, future as in the past Grateful souls will sing glory and be praised In their footsteps others hopefully will be raised Maclean ,Antimo Cipriano Janet among just a few Gracious Magnimous praise worthy friends I knew Hoping praying in vain for more I can surely be like one among the four When you think of self live in vain When you live for others you live again
