The price of being nice
might appear very costly,
yet it can also have
an ethereal sense of beauty,
and given the reality
of anything expensive,
someone must be willing to understand
how offering a helping hand
could actually be done
completely for free,
and that within itself
could even result
in the development
of a reflective perspective,
and that same person
might even be able to improve
rather than worsen,
and perhaps even be able
to bring more to the table
with the hope of ultimately
becoming someone,
even when all has been said and done,
especially since compassion
never goes out of fashion,
and finally prevent the fall
from doing nothing at all
