A Lesson Learned

You all asked for my help I did everything in my power for you Now you have turned your back on me Used for your gain now you rid yourself of me I will not judge you, I leave that to the higher power

Congratulations, Carol on your poetry being featured this week. You have shown us that you are the kind of believer that leaves the judgement to God. It is the right thing to do. Have a great Sunday. Hugs, Andrew.

Yes! What's the bible say - "Judge not that ye be not judged." Tell 'em to take something large and put it where the moon don't shine. Congrats on the selection. Love, daver

Sometimes users do enthrall, and take advantage, its their call, but judgement waits, on another date, their persecution, is their fate, thats allllll...
