Helping Hand

The greatest gift you can bring to life
learn to smile and enjoy your time
it's fun to dance and just unwind 

In caring for another man
it's good to teach and be their friend
when work is done with a smile and fun

The reward is that respect is won
granted you must understand
the lines not written in the sand

each person is a different man
with different thoughts 
and needs my friend

one will laugh enjoy a shove
yet some will not enjoy that love
some will joke of politic's 

well other's need your just respect
read the people one and all
we all are different not just walls

some will need a helping hand
well others need a quiet friend
well some need help to overcome
others need a push to run.
