Givers & Takers 2-5-16

Inside this world of hate and love

of sour and dessert,

so many 'take' while others 'give'.

with sacrificial hurt.

Some lie to get just what they want.

Some steal and get their way.

And they don't care what we endure

or what we think or say.

Some, out of spiteful, angry hate,

think they are tough with gun.

Some reach the bottom very fast

and murder just for fun.

I see myself and know I'm not

a 'taker' like the rest.

I know that I'm a 'giver' and

I live among the best.

I once had climbed on pedestal

and stood up straight and tall -

but then I saw what Jesus paid

and that He gave His all.
