We live and we learn,
From the mistakes we earn.
No one's ever perfect,
But you could at least treat them with respect.



Seeing the way they struggle,
Getting into all types of trouble.
You, just stand there and stare,
Not wanting to get involved in what's happening there.



Sometimes this person is praying within,
That you with the heart will extend help to him.
Past and future, have gone and yet to come,
But the present is here, it will help with the long run.



Just one supporter is all that they need,
Even if the entire world doesn't hear their plead.
Deep down inside they were waiting,
Waiting patiently for your awakening.



Helping out those who can't succeed,
You mustn't take it as boastful greed.
Because if you say that you helped someone,
Its by right you don't spread it out all wrong.



The note here is so simple,
You're not only special if you have a dimple.
It only depends on the path you choose,
Only when there's nothing left to lose.
