A Helping Hand

A Helping Hand

           Easy to receive, hard to give is how we are
           Everybody looking for things to fill where you are
           Not caring for others, we want to reach up there
           To get everything and bring it near
           Not remembering others with nothing out there
           That poor kid you help, nature rewards you later

           Useless, worthless, sick and dirty they may look
           With their dream for good life hanging on a hook
           In hopeless, insecure and dangerous environs they have lived
           Food, shelter, clothing and education they have lacked
           On strangers, unknown, fortune and fate they have relied
           That poor kid you help, nature rewards you later

           Looking at us they are, waiting for us to offer a helping hand
           Even a piece of cake or cheap cloth they haven’t refused
           No one may see you, but you won’t go unrewarded
           Any help you offer willingly won’t go unnoticed
           Nature will see and your needs will be fulfilled
           That poor kid you help, nature rewards you later

           Giving a little won’t affect your monthly bill
           Not only their lives you will help, but even their souls you will heal
           Let’s join hands to help them ascend this life hill
           Reward you may not get, but surely your descendants will
           If we do so, a great life we will make for real
           That poor kid you help, nature rewards you later
