Help those in dire need, <br />Provide care and instill hope <br />If they are thrust into poverty, <br />Help them find the means to cope. <br /> <br />Comfort the lonely and depressed, <br />Bestow benevolent goodwill to all, <br />Help raise their spirits when downcast, <br />If possibly they should trip and fall. <br /> <br />Put your sympathetic thoughts to practice, <br />Put human and social welfare to the test, <br />By spreading joy, happiness and charity, <br />Even to those you may even detest. <br /> <br />Let compassion and sympathy prevail, <br />Help others to find an estimable way, <br />Adopt a humanitarian's words of wisdom, <br />' Perform a humane deed everyday.'<br /><br />Joseph T. Renaldi<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-humane-deed/
