Teach Your Children Well
She often spoke of her past and the mistake she had made
The shadow that it cast in allowing herself to so be swayed
She had lamented it so often as even the tears still flowed
In telling those young women, it was reality that showed
That was the easy part, standing up there telling her story
In just speaking from her heart for the sake of God's Glory
But when she was alone they were the toughest times of all
Even in His Light Shone she couldn't forgive her own fall
There again in front of a crowd the tears welling in her eyes
Her voice echoing so loud in now so clearly seeing those lies
Seeing all those young faces and all that might have been
For in Gods Grace perhaps another might avoid such a sin
So there again she'd stand this time it was the ninth grade
Working with God's Hand helping the one who had strayed
As they stood to leave out with a new thought on their mind
But at least where was once doubt the truth they can now find
