A lady who lacked all glory

/Written for Jade-Pandora's  poetry comp -"A heart of gold"/  
 
 
When I was a child, I heard this story  
about a kind of kind lady who lacked all glory  
 
On a hot sunny day, a day like hell  
she saw a thirsty dog, panting by the well  
 
Thirsty and tired, the pooch would surely die  
She couldn't bear to watch and keep on walking by  
 
She took off her scarf and tied one of her shoes  
She quenched the pooch's thirst with water she drew  
 
She gave this dog something society never gave her  
The Almighty saw her act and instantly forgave her!  
 
 
 
/*- Based on one of the stories I had heard since childhood. It is used to draw many morals mostly of staying kind to every creation and none should judge anyone as God is the only judge and so on...*/
