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

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. :)

Unfortunately we will meet a person like that from time to time,hopefully not to often. I like the way that you put it in to a poem.

Thanks Ed, the thing is, I haven't been disappointed by anyone in a very long time, Due to the fact I have no expectations in anyone for anything.

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

Thank you Kim, I prize human "Grace" very highly, I guess one reason is, that it's so rare.
