What Makes a Human Being
Helping your brother when he is in need
Getting up courage and planting that seed
Loving a stranger just as you do a friend
Lend those who need it a helping hand
Being there for people where they're in pain
Giving all you have without expecting gain
Being the change the world needs to see
Having the courage to be who you're meant to be
Putting others needs before all your own
Keeping your integrity when you're alone
Standing up for what you believe in
Knowing in your heart quitting is a sin
Picking the right person to share your life
Keeping a smile through all the pain and the strife
Having the courage to see beyond what others are seeing
Love in your heart and a fire in your soul~
That's What Makes a Human Being

I wrote this poem on another poetry app and copied the text. When I pasted it it just added another line! And thank you so much, I really appreciate it!
