And I hear some say to me
     go and save the world--go-
     that would make you great
     you would be the day's hero

    and this I reply
    I can't climb ten floors--no--
   I can't save a fair maid from a burning building
   Nor swim to save a drowning man --I know

   I am no hero---I'll leave that to others
  who will do fine and steal the show
  such people we need -- and their deeds
  are in Guinness Book Of Records---though

  I  should not fail my fellow-men and myself
  I should be kind and offer a helping hand wherever I go
  no man is an island and the human heart knows both joys and woes
  let's spread love and compassion when others are in sorrow
nil
