उत्तर
Two of the greatest poems that highlight the value of love and service to humanity are Abu Ben Adhem and Plate of Gold. The message of both poems is the same.
Abu is thrilled to see his name at the top of the book, which lists the names of people God loves, after the angel in Abu Ben Adhem confirms that his name is in it.
The peasant who truly loves his siblings will also receive the gift of paradise in the poem "Plate of Gold."
Heaven and God reward the real lovers of humanity in both verses.

It's doing your job the best you can,
And being just to your fellow man;
It's making money-but holding friends,
And being true to your aims and ends.
It's figuring how and learning why,
And looking forward and thinking high;
And dreaming a little and doing much,
It's keeping always in closest touch.
With what is finest in word and deed,
It's being through, yet making speed;
It's daring blithely the field of chance,
While making labour a brave romance.
It’s going onward despite defeat
And fighting staunchly, but keeping sweet;
It's struggling on with the will to win,
But taking loss with a cheerful grin.
