Live For Others

He alone lives who lives for others

He alone helps who helps the poor!

Drive away from the poor their pains

Divine will be your dirty house door!

 

Name and fame of you will go away

To the poor weightless words you say!

The glory of the alms giver will stay

The graceless will never bloom a gay!

 

He alone is the light of man who has

Virtue bounty justice care and grace!

The World thinks and tells his praise

Who welcomes and gives with grace!

 

The crows hide not; they call and eat

Fame abides a man who acts like that!

The Sun protects Moon and the Earth

The justice will protect a donor’s worth!

 

Goodness of worthy wealth will bless

Who treats the poor as their guest!

Who treats a poor and expects the next

Is a reserved guest in heaven’s feast!
