THE FAVOR

You called me one night
And said you had a problem
Could I please do you a favor?
I hesitate, but only a second
Sure, "No problem," I reply.
But as I go to do that favor
There are others who tell me "no"
They refuse to see things my way
How could I betray a friend
With a matter of such importance?
So I resolve to carry out my favor
And with a plan I do
I tell others more experienced than I
Who help me figure things out
They make it clear what I must do
Those who told me not to were angry
But it was too late
You see, I had already done the favor
You call me later to thank me
You say it meant a lot
"No problem," I reply.
