“What wealth have you”, the magnate sneered, “For coin I can spare but few”.
“Of things you covet”, the beggar replied, ” ‘Tis true I have little of it”.
“But of the soul, I do believe, I have plenty where you have a hole”.

When you think you’ve given all you can
Try to find a little bit more
To help the lot of your fellow man
Because we’ll always have the poor
Be it poor in spirit, money or health
There are those worse off than you
Sharing succour, if not your wealth
Is an act of humanity too
And don’t confuse the poor and needy
With idle hands or mind
Not all that need are lazy and greedy
When you’ve capacity to be kind
