Losing Hope

Our heart goes out to them we want to help with everything we have and more So we dish out what we can and scrounge to find the rest we juggle and do without to provide as best we can When times get better we never expect to have to beg to get our money back because a loan is a loan unless there’s been a sudden global outbreak of financial amnesia Dishing of resentment how dare we ask for what is due us left hanging dangling like a sorry piece of meat Just life offering us valuable lessons AP: Honorable Mention 2021 Posted on November 25, 2018

A wonderful man, who took me in from the storm (literally!) 31 years ago: "You are receiving this help because some day you will be in a position to do this for someone else." Amazingly enough, just two years later I was---for two 'orphans of the storm,' one for 5 months, another for 3, one right after the other...As the world turns...Ala your instructive poem. Kudos! ~ Gershon

Thanks for your much appreciated visit and comment. And that is exactly why forgiveness is so important... holding a grudge just eats away at those brownie points.

I think the best way to repay a kindness is to help another in need - very wise write, Line!
