You May Not Be The Heir Poem by Francis Duggan

You may not be the heir to the queen and the king
And your praises the masses they never may sing
Or you may never own, drive or be driven in an expensive car
But this does not tell us of the person you are
You may never be hailed a hero of the town
For you in life never such widespread renown
Yet you never fail to give credit to where it is due
And to your higher self you remain ever true
And every day you do plant Karma's good seed
By helping anyone of helping in need
Without expecting the reward of financial pay
And look on it as your good deed of the day
These things as a person say more about you
Than all of the honors and titles can do.
