To help the handicapped she see it as her duty I'm for the underdog you hear her say <br />And once a forthnight even in a heatwave she drives to a place one hundred miles away <br />To entertain those who need entertaining to such a worthy cause she remains true <br />She is what one would call a real good person and people like her sad to say too few. <br /> <br />Her husband to her seems so very different to help others he don't go out of his way <br />He's obsessed with himself like many others 'myself comes first' one often hear him say, <br />His wife's love for the underdog it bugs him it's something he finds hard to comprehend <br />It's not surprising that he seems quite friendless and that she is one never short of a friend. <br /> <br />Every second saturday she drives down to the suburbs she makes the trip in sunshine or in rain <br />And in the evening in the gathering darkness she drives back to her country town again <br />One well might say another unsung heroine for her name is not in any honours roll <br />And she is an extraordinary woman and she has warmth and sunshine in her soul. <br /> <br />She is a fighter for the worthy causes she marches in protests for human rights for refugees <br />The people now locked in detention centres who fled their war torn lands beyond the seas <br />And every second saturday for to help disabled people she drives down to the suburbs in her car <br />And she's a good and kind and caring person and to help others no drive for her seems far.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-good-person/
