Modesty is my curtain

Service, my Great and Powerful Oz

Giving without receiving 

To achieve the noblest cause

Accepting little to no recognition 

In hopes to complete a paramount mission 

A golden journey to stop the 'Wicked Witch' of the West

Fighting poverty so the worst find their best

I set up my curtain so the best is seen

Acts of goodness, the ultimate scheme

The curtain placed in faith alone

Helping the lesser find their true home 

One, two, three clicks of the heel

Helping families find warmth, clothes, and a meal

A great place to start, an idea comes to mind 

Others would help, just hard to find time

I do not need your green, just a heart made of gold

Service the Great Oz for riches untold!

People frozen, I shake the rust from their hearts

Determined to help others, who need my help to start

My curtain shows modesty and modesty alone

I'll find the courage to help even if on my own
