The Worried Debtor Poem by Randy McClave

I don't want anyone to struggle because I once had
I always hated feeling that worried and sad,
Everyday seemingly to me was a horrible nightmare
Sadly, I thought that no one did care.

I don't want anyone to have worries or stress like me
Those tears again I don't want to ever feel or see,
Whenever I looked around seeking out advice or help
All that there was, was myself.

I don't want anyone to suffer or cry as I had once done
When away from my problems I just couldn't run,
I was drowning and they called me selfish and also needy
But, I was neither and I never begged and I wasn't greedy.

I don't want anyone to lose faith and have sleepless nights as I did.
May that God forbid,
I truly wish that everyone to my left and right will have it better
May lenders forgive, as Jesus forgave us the worried debtor.
