Jerry T Curtis Poet Rhyme

Test My Spirit

TEST MY SPIRIT


I hate a promise never kept
A word that's made, then broken
A handshake that is offered up
As merely just a token
I despise a person who
Is void of common grace
Who gives a gift, with intent
To throw it in my face
One who thinks they’re better
Superior to the rest
Then falls apart when circumstances
Puts them to the test
The one who's never wrong
But never gets it right
One who runs and hides
When, there's a righteous fight
The one that puts you down
When it's you who’s really trying
The same that sits and laughs
When you’re on you knees and crying

Sharon Gulley May 26, 2015 at 8:37 AM Hello Jerry, sorry it has been so long since stopping by to read but as usual I am enjoying being here today. What a wonderful write here and I agree with Lyric Man, we've lost our meek and humble individuals that are driven by pure purpose and deep integrity. Congrats on your awesome first place win......Sharon G. :)

Kp Nunez May 1, 2015 at 8:48 PM Good one, Jerry. Love the lines: "I despise a person who// Is void of common grace// Who gives a gift, with intent// To throw it in my face". Good luck in the contest, Jerry. :) Kim Jerry T Curtis May 3, 2015 at 7:25 PM Thank you Kim, I prize human "Grace" very highly, I guess one reason is, that it's so rare.
