Philanthropy of a common man

I'm a common man with modest means, 

and common people have to be 

conscious of their deeds 

that may justify 

their philanthropic conscience. 

They have their limitations 

and need to look for small avenues 

to satisfy the good spirit. 

I am no exception,

I collect my tiny grains of good deeds,--

A potted rose feeling extremely thirsty, 

its buds and top leaves drooping despiritedly, 

I pour water with care and consideration, 

Within fifteen minutes I see the results, 

The branches straighten and leaves turn taut, 

the buds raise their heads again, 

They will smile fully tomorrow. 

Now who says that 

good deeds don't fetch beautiful results?
