Help

Today's Poem

Help

Sometimes people make things work
You'll see around your life they lurk
You may not like or trust those souls
But they could help you reach your goals

Life's complex web is daily spun
And dreams can die before begun
So tread with care when moving out
Try not to miss what it's about

The smallest things can make great change
The target may not seem in range
And yet each tiny thing we do
Will move things, take a wider view

Perspective should be thought upon
Another's mind has light which shone
And did we see those rays of hope
Or fail to grasp the helpful rope

Of course not all are there to aid
Some folk would see us drowned or flayed
But most are friends if we can believe
And help is there, our dreams to weave

What you say is certainly true. Many people magnify problems because they lack perspective. I also agree with your last stanza that most people are goodhearted and helpful if given a chance.
Written with your usual proficiency. Excellent cadence and flow. (I'm not a fan of atonal rhymes like upon and shone, but that is my own hangup.)
"Today's poem." Do you really write a poem of this length and quality every day? Wow!
