Sacrifice

As he pulled out his tattered old wallet He really only had a very little bit But he took that money and pulled it all out Helping another in their time of doubt She was already running late And she didn’t have anytime to wait But she knew the Lord was leading her day So she listened intently to what her co-worker had to say Watching the other kids putting her down She was disheartened by the girls deeply sad frown So she walked over saying will you be my friend And she brought all that bullying right to an end He was tired and just wanted to rest But his wife was studying for a big test He pulled up a chair and said how can I help you And she said, It’s just nice to be next to you They finally won the big game And life for them would never be the same Nor would it be for the little boy with the glove As he signed it for him in all that push and shove So if there is one thing from this that you discern May it be that next time, when it is your turn That you will rise up, rise above all the rest And pass one of Gods’ more simpler test
