If Because Of You Poem by Francis Duggan

If because of you the World to live in is a better place
And you meet the challenges of life with a smile on your face
And you help a poor person in need of helping without asking for pay
Of the good things we do in life we receive in good Karma one day
People who help poor people never even know of local renown
Compassion and empathy never does make one a toast of the town
But what matter of the needs of others you are one who is aware
And people like you are and were always rare
Of living a good life you have managed to succeed
And of more of your kind the Human World is in need
For those doing it tough you can feel sympathy
They are rare gifts indeed compassion and empathy
And since of the selfish gene you are one who is free
With more like you in it how much better the Human World to live in would be.
