Affective Hand

If You help someone who helps himself 
you've truly help the man.

Help someone who never does
You'll find them needing help again. 

And if you try to help someone who thinks they need no help at all ,
eventually he will need someone . 
But, who will come to call ? 

Then there are special ones who help most everyone they meet and everybody knows them from see to see to see.
 
A multitude will watch them. 
Some for selfish gain.

But laws of recompense will send to them
 a speedy helping hand again  .
