IN GOD WE TRUST, ALL OTHERS MUST PAY CASH

There is no basic good in Man save Jesus Christ, Our Lord; For few would to another the same courtesy afford, That he, himself would like to have extended in his favor, Kindness and compassion is not always ours to savor. If someone knows you have a weakness, that something's not quite right, The first time that they have the chance, that's the place they'll strike. If they see you as different, that somehow you're unique, There are those who'll shun and taunt you to make you seem a freak. If they know you have uncertainties, you're teetering on the brink, There are many who will give a push just to watch you sink. The world at large is not the way God wanted it to be, And few if any open eyes and really try to see. With this in mind I leave you now with this sage advice. Trust God alone and no one else for people are not nice.

True even "good" people will hurt you or misunderstand you. But God, will never leave you nor forsake you. (Also reminds me just a bit, of a great uncle who would say, "don't trust anyone! Money is your only friend.") Also, there is humor and rhyme and a pleasant cadence to your poem! :) ~ps

If we cannot trust our Lord, we can neither love nor be happy. An inspiring poem, dear Judy. May God bless you, as He always does!

Judy, you've crafted a magnificent poem. Absolutely relying upon God and no one else, since human beings aren't always pleasant. This outstanding counsel comforts the heart and revitalizes the spirit. I hope all is well with you. Blessings,
