If You

'Tis not the degrees that you have to your name
And 'tis not of your financial successes or your Worldly fame
And it doesn't matter if up the ladder of success you will never climb far
It's the kind of a person that you really are.

If with those with heavy crosses you can sympathize
And you have compassion and you can empathize
With people who struggle just to make ends meet
There are so many hungry on Poverty Street.

If you believe in the motto of live and let live
And be thankful to take and be happy to give
And to help those in need of help go out of your way
Then good things of you others only can say.

If of the town's supposedly worst person some good things you say
And you help some poor person without expecting pay
For the betterment of humankind your part you play
And good karma in plenty will be your's one day.
