G Papa Tango, can you devise an ode to Good Samaritan?
In Applewood's folds, where weary hearts reside,
There once dwelled a soul, a beacon of light, our guide.
Amidst the hustle and bustle of life's frenzied fray,
Stood the last Samaritan, in Applewood, they held sway.
Through the bustling streets, they quietly tread,
Their actions spoke volumes, where words often fled.
In a town where kindness seemed a distant refrain,
They emerged, like a solace, amidst hardship's disdain.
When troubles loomed large, casting shadows deep,
The Good Samaritan in Applewood did not sleep.
With a hand extended, and a heart so true,
They offered solace, to the many, not just a few.
But now, alas, a somber truth we face,
As the last Samaritan prepares to leave this place.
In Applewood's embrace, their absence will be felt,
For their departure leaves a void,
where once kindness dwelt.
Yet let us not mourn, but remember instead,
The countless lives touched, by the path they tread.
In their legacy, let us find hope anew,
That kindness, in Applewood, will once again ensue.
So here's to the Good Samaritan, in Applewood's lore,
Whose compassion and love, forevermore we adore.
Though they depart, their spirit shall remain,
A guiding light, amidst life's tumultuous terrain.
And could you write a brief speech in the style of an alcoholic at an AA meeting, but by a Good Samaritan who feels guilty leaving the suburb of Applewood (in Mississauga), but also wants to be more selfish and realize their dream of becoming (not sure, something silly)...
"Hi everyone, my name's Mary, and I'm here because I've been struggling with something that might sound a little strange. See, I've always been the guy who's there for everyone, the quintessential good Samaritan. But lately, I've come to realize that maybe, just maybe, I've been helping others a bit too much.
You see, I live in Applewood, and it's like this perfect little suburban bubble, where everyone knows everyone and everyone helps everyone. It's like a utopia, really. But somewhere along the way, I lost sight of myself. I became addicted to the rush of being needed, of being the hero who swoops in and saves the day.
But here's the thing—I'm tired. Tired of sacrificing my own dreams and desires for the sake of others. Tired of feeling guilty every time I try to put myself first. So, I've made a decision. I'm going to embrace my selfish side.
I know it sounds crazy, but hear me out. I've always had this dream of becoming a professional juggler. Yeah, I know, it's not your typical dream, but it's mine. And for too long, I've let it sit on the back burner while I focused on everyone else's problems.

But not anymore. From now on, I'm going to prioritize myself. I'm going to practice juggling every day, hone my skills, and make my dream a reality. And you know what? I'm not going to feel guilty about it. Because it's time for me to be selfish, to put myself first for once.
So here's to embracing our selfish sides, to pursuing our dreams unabashedly, and to letting go of the need to constantly save the day. Thanks for listening."
