Lets Hear It Poem by Francis Duggan

Lets hear it for the unsung heroes our toasting glasses to them we'll raise
Those who volunteer their time free of charge for good causes they are surely worthy of our praise
They go off to third World Countries for to help out those in dire poverty
They surely deserve to be honoured for their love of Humanity.

Lets hear it for the men and women some of them well beyond their prime
Who dedicate their lives for others we should laud them in song and in rhyme
They are such altruistic people they care not for wealth and renown
They devote their skills to the poor and the needy a World away from their Hometown.

Lets hear it for all of the unselfish they never think of their own need
They give hope to the innocent victims of those who grow wealthy by greed
They help the poor and the malnourished, the Homeless and Stateless refugees
Who live in the harshest environments and are dying of hunger and disease.

Lets hear it for those worthy people who for the less privileged do care
With those who are poor and malnourished their great gift of caring they share
They devote themselves to helping others and to their higher self remain true
And why not we give them some credit since credit they are overdue.
