A Helping Word
A Helping Word The pain of someone that you care about can hurt you too. You try to help as much as you can but sometimes you just can’t get through. Still don’t give up; that should make you try harder. When someone feels dumb you should help them feel smarter. If someone gives up on their self that don’t mean you give up on them. If you love someone no matter what you will always love them. My advice I try to give to whoever listens. My poems I write to try to help since the beginning.

All kinds of great life advice! Thanks for the inspiring words that I’m sure I and many others will remember! I will be sure to look out for my friends and loved ones more!
“When someone feels dumb you should help them feel smarter” – Great writing and a great message that I think generations today need to hear. I see so many people putting people down more when already feeling down.
Thank you for writing! A great read and inspiring for many!

This poem inspires me so much to be the most helpful person that I can be. This poem is written in a mini-paragraph form which fits the topic really well. Personally, I have been trying to help people more and more every day and this poem is a great reminder of that. This mindset is a really great one to have, keep up the amazing work!
It feels like the poet is speaking directly to me, I think the writer is advising the reader to hold each other dearly and to love one another. Very beautifully orchestrated, I couldn’t be more pleased to have came across this. Thank you
This is a great poem! I have been going through something similar lately with my bestfriend who is being distant but I try to just be there no matter what because I think that is what is most important. You should always treat people with kindness and spread kindness because it doesn’t cost a thing to be nice.
Nice and sweet poem, I think love is such a problem entity that we all try to find and navigate through in some cases, and sometimes we need love and support to be our strength. you managed to capture my idea of this perfectly with so much ease.
