Spending on others is noble

A trait so human and global

Yet selfish we do become

Ignoring the sad and glum

And then we do shy away

If we have little in our tray

Others we can ask to pool in

If our own resources are thin

And if we have been kind

To those deaf and blind

Never must we brag

Or wave our own flag

But reach out to others in pain

And worried for them remain

And scold not those who ask

And take not them to task

And not stress to them

Favours done to them

Generosity let us not flaunt

And give away even in want

Searching for those in need

Is humane and kind indeed

But remember when we roam

That charity begins at home
