The Value of Helping Others

Excuse me, can you help me?
Can you show me the right way
I'm sorry to disturb you
Sorry, what did you say?
Oh you haven't the time
You're so busy today
That's alright I'll ask someone else
You're busy, it's okay
But should tomorrow you too need help
And even though busy there are those that will stop
I hope tomorrow you find your way
From the help that you got
I hope next week if I get stuck
And it's you from help I seek
I hope you learnt the value of helping others
From the help you received last week.
