You Can Be Like Kate Poem by Francis Duggan

You have it in you for to be good and kind
Compassion and empathy if you search for you will find
In life it is said you must give to receive
Though not everyone on such reasoning believe
You too can be like your unselfish neighbor Kate
Good karma for herself in life she does create
One who does her good deed or two every day
For to help those in need of helping she goes out of her way
One like her is an asset to humanity
A local leader in the fight against poverty
In life you give to receive is surely not a lie
You too can be like Kate and so too can i
In a Human World where there is such a strong emphasis on commercialism and greed
Of more people like her we are badly in need.
