As A Good Human Being

For the remainder of his given time span He just wishes to live as a good and an honourable man And help anyone of his helping in need Without expecting reward for any good deed Self promotion for him has never been his thing He leaves it to others their own praises to sing Now as ever he never craves public esteem His type in the World getting rarer it does seem A down to earth bloke in every sort of a way He always was what he is today A stranger one can say to even local renown Though there ought to be more like him in every town You never see him carry or waving the national flag Or of how great he is to others he never does brag Yet he is one who is enlightened of mind A person of empathy, caring and kind From one in need of helping he never turns away The man who performs his good deeds every day To his higher self he is one who lives true As a good human being to him credit is due.
