The stories of their lives are so good to read <br />Those unselfish people who helps those in need <br />From their Homeland they travel far away <br />For love of helping the less fortunate without any pay <br />For their altruistic ways respect and recognition they are due <br />To their higher selves such people always true <br />Known for their compassion and their empathy <br />These people a credit to humanity <br />At home and in drought ravaged lands overseas <br />They help the Homeless and the hungy and the Stateless refugees <br />For humanity's cause they put self ambition aside <br />True greatness of them never should be denied <br />In the helping of the less fortunate their time they devote <br />And in words I would laud them if I were a poet.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-credit-to-humanity/
