Jim Pemberton Poet Rhyme

Helping a Friend

You may have tried to help
 a "friend" in need.
Many "hard luck" stories
 to you he does feed.

You try to help him.  And this 
makes you feel good.
But this "friend," isn't being honest.  
Like a friend should.

Then something happens.  
You begin to say.
"Lord...  Why isn't he being 
truthful with me...  today?"

If your motive is love.  
Then you are not wrong.
The principle of giving is 
what really belongs.

Your "friend" will answer to 
God for doing his part.
God is the true judge and 
really knows his heart.

Just keep giving to others.  
Keep doing your best.
Give everything to God.  Let him
 take care of the rest.

Lay your treasures up in heaven
 and you will see.
The riches of God in you. 
 throughout eternity!
