Quiet Charity

What good charities lie in men unsung Who fortune smiled on loud and long? Quiet, do some share their wealth ‘til done To help the poorest of us, get along. Wish I as they were, as they humbly are Quiet charity lessons unselfish given As kindness returns, kindness’s spread far Back to those serving, as they too are driven. For surely yes, when ill befalls When they too, take their sorry turn at debt Balance returns, scales equal weigh As chaos, and nothing, again equal set.
