Nothing in return

by elijah   Apr 9, 2012


They expect so much
I can do so little
They need a lot
I can provide a little

They need some help
I give advice
They need some prayer
I help with no price

They cry on my shoulder
I try to make it better
They beg for money
I'm their provider

But what about me?

I ask for so little
They give almost nothing
I need a few supplies
They barely give anything

I need advice
Where is my help
I get few prayers
I plead for help

I need some comfort
I cry alone
I'm still trying to help
My pain is never shown

I try to help
They give nothing in return
I try to provide
May I at least get a thanks

    Giving is pleasing God through man.. A labour/service for wage, hinders skill. Expectation calls for heartbreak.. Give.., leaning on God, for reward!!! For, none can please a man, right through.. Good job! And thank you...

    I loved that part of the poem.
    They expect a lot from you and you can help with a little. And when they need advice you will be there to give them advice, there use your shoulder to lean on and you comforting them through there hard time.

    I plead for help

    I need some comfort
    I cry alone
    I'm still trying to help

    Aww 
    This is true! I can relate
    Your always there for then through thick and thin and when you need help it's no where to be found, you cry alone without a shoulder to lean on:/

    It's funny how you can always be there for someone but when it comes to you needing help it's like they don't care and don't bother helping you when you going through a hard time

    I loved the poem it's a really good write

    Just giving that message to the readers that by helping someone and always being there for them turns out they don't do the same in return.
    Beautiful poem even thou I thought it was sad:/

    5/5 great job x
