What I Gave

7/2/14 When he was in need, I gave him money, When he was in need, I gave him help, When he was in need, I gave him strength, When he was in need, I let him lean on me. And now that he's up- on his own two feet, It sticks out to me that he was a cheat. But, my conscious is clear, I've nothing to fear. If I was a test from GOD up above, I've passed with flying colors, For if that man I'd left alone, He could be dead- cold as stone. For GOD could've sent me that Angel, Hidden in that man, for me to find, And that's how I'm here this day- though since that time, I've been blind, yet I stick by what i gave that day...
