Analysis of Good deeds unseen
What's in human souls can not be revealed
Nor can you trust deeds done in the world's eyes
Any bad intentions will be concealed
Until the evil doer gains their prize
A truly warm soul shines in solitude
When there are none to witness a good deed
Only from the heavens is gratitude
Souls revealed when doing right is my creed
The soul is seen when there is naught to gain
Whatever choice you make will go unseen
Matters to those who you relieved of pain
Even if they didn't know you were on scene
Little things taken care of clears a path
And saves unsuspecting folks from fate's wrath
