You offer help with the purest intentions at heart
You assume their burden, their distress is tearing you apart
You solve their problems on your own
You’ve made things right, but you have not shown
Them the path towards solving problems that are theirs
You’ve actually not helped them, though deeply you care..
Next time they are in a similar bind
Ill-equipped to handle the issue themselves they would find
You might end up bailing them out again
Perpetually inadequate at solving their problems they might remain
*
To those dear to you, when an offer of help you extend
Do not solve their problems for them, because in the end
You want to empower them to deal with issues on their own
You do not want to carry them, but you want to make it known
That you are by their side, guiding them on the path to success
You help them more by giving a little less…
Passion...unbridled
