A Karmic Night…

Last night I drove home from my job,

With as little as one quarter tank of gas,

Arrived home and just about drifted into my drive,

Was not unhappy, at least I did get home, I did not sob…

A next-door neighbor then just gave me twenty bucks,

No questions asked, nor did I tell him of my shortage,

Then this afternoon, another neighbor just gave me ten more,

No one knew how broke I was, I actually cried till I was sore…

I went out and bought gas and some food,

Then as I walked out of the store,

A man sitting in a car with tears,

Asked if I could help him out?

I said I would try, does he need a jump or repair?

He had fixed his car the night before,

Spending all his cash, boy I knew that feeling,

So I gave him the remaining 5 dollars from my two windfalls…

You know what goes around comes around,

This will come back to me eventually or not,

Either way I feel extra special tonight,

I may be totally broke again,

But I am happy about the way it happened…
