Short Story 129 – Selfish or Helpful, a Poem

Two paths diverge in life, a choice to make,
One paved with kindness, the other a mistake.
The selfish soul, with head held high,
Thinks only of themself, beneath a self-absorbed sky.

They hoard their treasures, won’t lend a hand,
Blind to the struggles across the land.
A frown is their trademark, a heart made of stone,
Their happiness hollow, forever alone.

But down the other path, a beacon so bright,
Shines the helper’s spirit, a beautiful sight.
With open arms and a generous soul,
They mend what is broken, and make others whole.

A smile for the weary, a hand up in need,
Planting good seeds, a bountiful deed.
The warmth of compassion, a joy that expands,
A happiness shared, held strong in their hands.

For helping another, a curious thing,
Brings greater fulfillment, a sweet song to sing.
The giver, enriched by the act they impart,
Finds a deeper contentment that fills up their heart.

So choose the right path, let kindness take hold,
There’s magic in helping, a story untold.
Be the sunshine that brightens a life’s dreary day,
And discover the joy that comes your way.
