If Someone Walks Up To You..

If someone walks up to you and asks,
‘Can you possibly please help me?’
Will you say yes, or no,
Or even give a maybe?

Will you keep walking past,
And pretend that you hadn’t heard them?
Or would you stop and lend a hand,
With the hopes that you could help them?

Would you tell them lies,
So that you could walk away?
Or would you stop and take a listen,
For what they have to say?

How would you react,
If you needed help?
And no one dared to stop and listen,
How would you have felt?

Would you have been upset,
that no one seemed to care,
Or would you say it was justified,
And hope the next one will answer your prayer,

So the next time someone needs you,
For your help or just your ears,
Think twice before you ditch them,
It could be you in a few years.
