Tender and Small

Tender and small, meek and mild
All these virtues worth the child
Never worthy to be wild
Ever friendly; that's the child

If truly, surely
As we know
Truly, surely,
It is so
That blessed are they that have them,
Then accurst are they that despises them.

Worthy are they of much care
Provide them, or having them you should not dare
Render your best and expect their best
Render the best, and expect the best.
