There was a young girl,
And humble was she.
But she had a friend
Who was mean as could be.
She always was kind
When the friend was not nice.
It sometimes was hard
To pay this high price.
But one day the friend
Was taken aback
By this young girl's kind deeds.
She herself had such lack.
The friend was not happy,
But wanted to be.
Maybe this girl could
Help her to "see".
From this young girl's life
She wanted to learn,
For she had been mean
And got love in return.
Though she had some hurts,
In her heart she now knew
That loving is best.
This girl changed her view.
"Love suffers long and is kind..."
I Corinthians 13:4 NKJ
"A soft answer turns away wrath..."
Proverbs 15:1 NKJ
