Redeeming My I O U

REDEEMING MY I.O.U. by JOHN While in my youth I was faced with a dire need An issue that threatened my path to succeed My options were fading then I met an elderly pair Informed of my quandary they elected to share They were not wealthy in a material sense Willing to offer assistance without recompense I accepted their offer and went on my way With a solemn oath to someday repay Years passed before I could honor my word Their heavenly journey had already occurred Guilt haunted me due to my procrastination I needed to satisfy my moral obligation I met a young man claiming dire duress Fiscal problems prevented his path to success What someone did for me I now will do for you You are my last chance to redeem my I.O.U. I expect no recompense but leave an onus on you Someday you will need to honor your I.O.U.
