Helping Love

Are there not times
when extending help
may also come
with expectation
of an outcome –
when a perceived
need is seen –
do you not wish
to jump in,
to help out,
to rectify a situation
that you think
needs to be
solved?

Is there not
a balance
to being helpful –
yes, you are there
when another asks,
but are there
not times
when you think
you know what
is “better?”

Is not another’s path
their own to
walk and learn?

Yes, there is learning
in relationship,
in how you
interact –
might you check in
on what your
intentions are,
when offering
to help –
can you offer
an open heart
letting Love
lead the way –
can you help
for helping’s sake,
without expectation
of what the outcome
“should” be –
can you Be There
for another,
can you show up
with Love?

As you share Love,
lending a helpful hand –
can you let go
of how it is
received?

Is not help
an extension
of the Love
That You Are –
and as Love is
limitless
in its reach –
can you Be Love
and let help
find where
it needs
to go?

Be loving.
Be helpful.
But mostly Be
the Face Of Love
for another
to see.

Be You.
Be There.
Be Love.
