There are moments when you see a need
And you’re in a position to help
But then you hesistate.
Maybe the prospective recipient of your generosity
Is someone who typically doesn’t say thank you,
Or at least not the way you like to be thanked.
Worse yet, they could see your open hand
And try to take advantage of you
And make you feel like an idiot for even trying to lend a hand.
What if you’ve misjudged the situation
And your contribution doesn’t even help?
And these questions come one after the other
Debating whether this is worth your while.
But there’s the catch.
This isn’t about you and ‘your while’
Its about the need you see.
And whether or not you will talk yourself out of
Meeting it.
