I most certainly concur with these thoughts poetically expressed.

An event during the US presidential election, where a photo-op was staged in a closed soup kitchen after hours was the spark for this poem, but the observation holds for general charity as well.
And I resisted using "motorcade" although it was so tempting.

Very poignant and well written Katarina. Seems that this end of year holiday season whether christian or secular or based on any other tradition demands at least token generosity towards those less fortunate. Regretably that token is all too often garish and cheap and too visible. My hat goe off to those who view charity as a constant exercise in realigning wealth, dignity and care, bringing the scales to the balance midpoint without fanfare but in a quiet journeyman fashion.

A truly charitable person, like a truly honest one, is marked by what one does when no one is looking, when no accolade or even acknowledgment is expected or even desired, the expression of one's character that is its own reward. How often it is those who have the least to give who give the most.
