Distress

Whenever you see a person who seems to be in apparent distress
Are you going to be among the first ones to exploit an inherent weakness?
Are you going to be the first one to provide a helping hard of caress?
Or do you only get reminded of your own seemingly high levels of stress?

Are you going to be reminded of your own unending prowess?
As you discover in self the ability to rescue a man in his time of duress?
Are you going to inspire a man to reach new heights of success?
Or do you only get reminded of each time you landed yourself in a mess?

Life forever is like a dress, with ever-changing colors and size
It is not always that one knows clearly what is the final prize
It forever encourages you to try on the various experiences it unfolds
Some of it may leave you cold, the others strengthens you to be bold

Some of it unravels the wonders of joy and creation
As you encourage another soul in their search of evolution
It just requires a basic re-look at one’s own expectation
That may perennially demand your attention to let go a life of limitation!
