Here's to the Helpers
Here's to the people
who not only help me
but give my life purpose
and direction
even if I've lost it.
They come into my life
at the lowest point
of time
and consistently remain there,
boosting me.
Help
is such a generic word
but it means so much
to me.
The help
they give,
gives me confidence
and a sense of pride
in what I can do.
The only response
I can show
is gratitude
to you
for everything
you do for me
and have done for me.
My emotions
are high
and easily triggered.
For the helpers
in my life
who have triggered them-
Thank you.
About This Poem
Last Few Words: Apart from "The Blush", this generic poem emerged when I began to think about some of the individuals who have been there for me and continue to encourage me to challenge myself. I am in the process of learning a new skill and I am starting to make progress. I can feel it. I want to say "Thank you" in the form of my poems.

The below is a computer-generated response from Neo, Neopoet's computer artificial intelligence:
The poem "Here's to the Helpers" effectively conveys a sense of gratitude and appreciation towards those who have provided support and assistance in the speaker's life. The repetition of the phrase "Here's to the people" creates a strong opening and sets the tone for the rest of the poem. The imagery of helpers coming into the speaker's life at the lowest points and consistently remaining to boost them is powerful and evocative.
The poem effectively explores the impact of help on the speaker's confidence, sense of pride, and emotional state. The use of simple language and straightforward expressions enhances the sincerity and authenticity of the speaker's gratitude. The closing lines, expressing thanks to the helpers who have triggered the speaker's emotions, provide a poignant conclusion to the poem.
One suggestion for improvement would be to consider varying the structure or rhythm of the poem to create more dynamic flow. This could involve experimenting with line lengths, stanza breaks, or punctuation to add variety and enhance the overall impact of the poem. Additionally
