Seeking a Helping Hand
Seeking a Helping Hand
Written: by Tom Wright

If you’re disinclined to work
Don’t issue commands,
And it won’t serve you well
Sitting with face in your hands;
Working smarter is one answer
But not some lucky charm,
Let the hand you’re seeking
Be attached to your own arm.
Requesting a helping hand
Has lamentably came to be,
Believing a hand of help is extended
And seldom sought by me;
Now, its aforethought,
Rather than a course of last resort;
And anything less than this
I feel I’m coming up short.
