Random, Great, Generous Acts of True Kindness

I don't know what it is about you all that prompts me to write so openly
about yours truly for all to read. 
I've taken a Vow of Poverty.
I could tomorrow win the highest ever Jackpot awarded in any lottery
and still not break my sacred vow of poverty.
I'd continue living my life as is currently
but maybe a few changes to some degree.
I would now be free to see all of my great country.
No financial concern will now ever truly haunt me.
I'm now free to be who I truly can be
a nomad helping others with random great acts of kindness generously.
I may stumble upon a recent unemployed family.
They'll soon be getting a notice. Your Mortgage Has Been Paid In Full Anonymously.
I'd provide many homeless with shelter and a healthy meal to eat
if only for one night, 
then as I traveled along the road of many homeless I'd once again repeat 
performing these random, great, generous acts of true kindness to all anonymously.
My reward? Knowing that I played my small role to the best of my ability
to help our world become a better place to live and be.
I'd prove my sincerity to me, by performing these acts of kindness as anonymously as can be,
It would be my most truest and greatest true labor of love 
if such a future could ever be for me.

The truest form of kindness comes from a heart that seeks no reward...to be generous and anonymous with that generousity...yes, I agree with your words. This is true kindness, and character! Inspiring poem!!
