You Should Feel Proud Poem by Francis Duggan

For to meet your very equal one would need to travel far
You should feel proud of the very good person you are
Those in need of helping you do help every day
And to perform your acts of kindness you often go out of your way
Yet you are so humble and free of conceit
And one as good and kind as you are would be hard to meet
So quiet in your ways one who never speaks loud
But your father and mother of you must feel proud
You are one who would never see anyone down
Yet sad to think your sort never become one of the admired of the town
Yet it is not for money or praise that you help those of your help in need
And every day do plant karma's good seed
And surely the very best thing about you
Is that you never tell others of the good things that you do.
