He Gave Her a Book-
She was just a girl yet hurting so;
In a school where he worked;
She was full of fear and doubt;
So scared to try to figure it out;
~
She was just a young girl;
Fragile and frail just 12 years old;
Ever so beautiful yet her life was in turmoil;
She being ever so fearful abnormal;
~
So he went to the store you see he cared about her little soul;
He bought her a book that you see, not just any book
The Man purchased her "a Bible"
Yes a...

Hopeless and scared no witnesses here;
Alone afraid in our heart;
She was a little beaten child a little malnutrition girl;
Mistreated child in tattered clothes she wore;
~
Hair messy and often undone eyes bright glittering for hope;
Often the bun accrual humor and bad jokes;
You see this kind man couldn't stand it, so I brought her a book;
A book of forgiveness, history, love and hope;
The name of this book, a King James Bible;
A book about" God's words" peace, joy and love offerings;
A book about God's words, history of humanity purposes,
rules and laws we should follow:
This book giveth hope!
This book finds the peace and love!
This book explains humanity sinful actions;
~
He was a Godly man (a clergyman)
A Godly friend; (humanitarian)
Wanted nothing from her the girl,
Nothing more than for her;
Just to be happy, whole and pure,
With a saved soul
Than to be unhurt, unharmed, have a saved soul;
But to help "God's daughter "and her wounded body and soul;
He gave her a book ;
He gave her a book ;
He gave her the Book!
