Far Superior To Me

On those many look on as ordinary only beauty she does see

In many ways she is far superior to me

Since others she feels no desire to impress

And she is not in the race for material success

 

You will never see her sort where the big egos are

And on the material ladder to success she will never climb far

Not the sort of person the masses admire

Since to impress others she feels no desire

But every day she does perform some good deed

And willingly help anyone who of helping is in need

And though her name will never appear on a memorial wall

Lack of recognition for her for her kindness does not bother her at all

Any prizes for her generosity of spirit she may never win

Her sort helps to make the World for poor people better to live in

Not among the tribes who seek worldly renown

But the soul of every village and city and town

Of anyone unkind things she never does say

And she performs a good deed or two every day

A person of great kindness and generosity

And in her ways one who is superior to me.
