Who shall notice the absence of a star when there are millions of them sparkling in the sky.
To help someone is a choice for you to make,
But it only gets its meaning, when the receiver feels the same way.
Its okay if you don’t want to make sacrifices,
Because it’s a choice that you may or may not take,
But don’t harm anyone for the sake of saying,
That you helped him all the way.
People tend to take credit for the things,
That made way for your success,
But they will disown them,
The moment they realise that you fell all the way.
Its your choice to lend a hand for the person who is about to fall from a cliff,
But it would be a mistake if he really wanted to jump.
To lend a hand is a choice for you to make,
But it will have a meaning,
when you do it for someone who values.
Sacrifices are always bound by expectations,
even if its done for the ones you love,
the moment you realize it doesn't have any meaning,
you start to feel its pain.

A poem with a message that is seldom heard. It is only truly a gift if it is desired by both parties. We often impose our desires and will on others even in gift giving. In that we can't read minds asking would seem appropriate but in that people often lie that can not be trusted too so we rely on assumptions that are often based on our own moral and ethical standards. A thought provoking poem
Only ever meaningful if given freely and recieved freely, lovely write with wonderful message
