What's In It For Me?
“What’s in it for me?”- That’s what we ask ourselves,
What do we gain- By helping someone else.
What’s behind it- When we give someone help.
The most selfish of thoughts- Thought by every person,
What’s the trade off- For helping someone else’s hurting.
For healing a problem- Or lending a hand,
For being a friend- For being a man.
Leading someone to something better- Showing them the way,
For opening their eyes when they were closed- For shielding them from the harshness of a
rainy day.
What do we gain- What do we receive,
These days receiving gratitude isn’t what it used to be.
A materialistic world- The sadness of the truth,
Still the question remains- “What’s in it for me if I choose to help you?”
Michael C. Lucas
