That great feeling you get,
From helping out.
Someone with less,
Down and out.
And, when you do it,
Be ever so quiet.
Not boastful and loud,
Inciting a riot.
Badgering others,
Who do not follow.
The choice is theirs,
They're hearts aren't hollow.
Don't question, then,
The lives they live.
Just because your cause,
They couldn't give.
When you talk the talk,
Create an impression,
Be honest with yourself,
Do not others, pressure.
Because they don't take,
Instructions from you,
They have their own lives,
To themselves are true.

- Comment from author about the poem: This time of year, everyone is asking for donations. Some people are in a position to donate, while others are not. Be quiet about what you donate. Otherwise, you appear to be only bragging about your ability to do something others are not able to do.

Very true, we can't change anyone but ourselves and be a quiet example of what the change looks like.
Your reply is so beautiful and profound. I thank you so very much!
