hearing her panic – v2

the call unexpected
because I had forgotten
the issue deferred
but such was the calendar
hearing her panic
a cry for assistance
changing my plans
to be of service
to assuage her nerves
to dissipate her anxiety
asking for help
to smooth their path
graciously accepting
that which was offered
sure this is harder
than they first imagined
than either of them thought.
