You can say no quite easily, you know
This doesn’t fall in your domain, and so
You are under no obligation to go out of your way
To try to do something that in the end may
Turn out to be an exercise in futility
Your skill-set may not in this case have utility
There isn’t enough time to waste, yours or
That of the person you’re offering your service for
*
You are about to say no, but you turn back once more
And catch the desperation in their eye that you’d missed before
Something tells you to at least hear the problem in detail
Even if at finding a solution you fail
You could bring them a step closer to the answer they need
If you don’t do anything, your refusal would trouble you indeed
*
So without making any promises, you hear them out
You don’t have the answer, but without a doubt
You know the next step to take in this case
That will help them get to the right place
*
The right place was found, the issue was resolved
Your help was crucial in getting the problem solved
It was easy to say no, it was your right too
But the universe moves forward because of those who
Go the extra mile without any expectation in mind
They are the ones who innovative solutions find
Passion...unbridled
