The toasting glass in their honour we should raise <br />The kind of heart they are worthy of our praise <br />To help those in need they go out of their way <br />Just for to be helpful and without asking for pay <br />Kind hearted people a few live on every street <br />Such people that one does feel happy to meet <br />For the welfare of others they genuinely do care <br />Though sad to think such people becoming rare <br />A few kind hearted people I feel privileged to know <br />And my respect for them with familiarity grow <br />Their rare gift of kindness is a wonderful thing <br />And their praises I always feel happy to sing <br />To their higher selves they remain ever true <br />And credit for their humanity in heaps they are due.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/kind-hearted-people/
