For Steve M

You reject wealth to honour other's needs
In tax you pay far more than is your due
In city slums, observing beggars' weeds
No-one is more generous than you
A saintly man, a humble mendicant
You take no stock in houses, cars or food
And live quite simply, for your wants are scant
Your only pleasure – merely doing good
To serve the poor is your ascetic creed
A respected philanthropist, you bestow
Your well-earned riches like scattering seed
Whether in Tottenham or Monaco
If not on earth, you will be praised by Him
Welcomed to glory by the seraphim
