Thank you

Thank you
I don't know who you are,
but you seem to know me.

How did you know
for the first time in my life
money keeps me up at night?

Did you see me cry
wondering what was going
to happen to me?

Were you there
when I had to sell my jewelry?
go with out lunch?
eat soup and oatmeal?

You must have been listening
when I tried to explain
to my creditors
I had nothing to give them.

I don't know who you are
but you gave me the gift
of membership to this site.

You must know me.
I promise to keep writing
and I will try to pay
this gift forward.

Thank you.
