Unfulfilled
Debt
by
Barbara Philbrook
Borrowed
finances or things from a friend,
may be returned and then the debt will come to an end.
But one
dies forever in debt,
to those who are simply kind to all they've met.
Has
someone been simply kind to you,
not even realizing the good they did in your view?
Has
someone brightened a gloomy day,
simply by their smile chasing your blues away?
Has
someone lifted your spirits today,
just by an encouraging word they happened to say?
Has life
been given a more positive look,
by a friend giving you an uplifting book?
Has your
self esteem been brought to a new high,
just by a glance given as you walked by?
There are
people who make other's lives better in some way,
just by being or the things they say.
Some
people simply walk into a room,
and their smile pushes away all of life's gloom.
Some
people bring joy into others life,
simply by listening to their tales of strife.
Then there
are those who unaware say the just the right thing,
instantly causing the world to sing.
These
would be unfulfilled debt if we neglected to pass them
on.
We too can have the same effect if it's Jesus we lean
upon.
