People in need -- in a game
of Truth is Dare and Do
I fly in, in a cape, swift as an arrow
and get entangled, sticking
to the strings that I weave
of the help that I give
I put my hands out, so softly
you take them with the heroic power
that jumps over, you smile --
In the world to help, to help
each other, right
if only
you are with me
and know my questions
and spoil me with attention
We are no longer teenagers
yet we still fly back and forth
to help each other, time after time
