Helping Hand
By Todd A. Smith
When we’ve made it
In this rat race called life
We tend to forget
Those who have not been
As fortunate in their quest for success
We’re taught to strive for the American dream
That fabulous home with a white picket fence
Once the dream becomes a reality
Some of us have the false notion
That our success is a direct result
Of our intelligence and hard work
It’s amusing that when we’re
Climbing that mountain of prosperity
We always appreciate that positive
Reinforcement from supporters
However, once we’ve reached the mountaintop
We forget to return the favor
To those in desperate need of a helping hand.
