What Happened?
What Happened? I was asked for a favor.I loaned the money:to pay bills, to pay rent,to buy food for the children.She promised to pay me back.Next week turns into next year.The phone calls stop.Our short conversationsof friendship are gone.A need fulfilledturns into friendships end.What happened?

Job Over
Job Over We never saw it coming.He opened up his paycheck.Pink slip.Laid off.Shocked, we held each other.Nine months later, savings gone.A house we love, we must leave.Stack of billswe can't pay.I tell myself I can't do this.Falling to my knees, I sob.I need You more than ever;with You, I can face this.
M-Word
