Sara Kendrick Poet Quintain (English)

The Name of Ruth

Ruth's name says so much about her
Friendship emanated from this lovely woman
The sorrow she endured did not love deter
Her mother-in-law absorbed her love like diamonds 
Ruth would follow despite change in life's plan

Ruth clung to Naomi who had not hope
The future for both was looking grim
Naomi's faith Ruth began to probe
She now accepted Jehovah believed in Him
Abundant love Ruth possessed overflowing the brim

Scripture:
And Ruth said your people shall be my people
and your GOD will be my GOD..
At that point she accepted GOD as her GOD..

Ruth being interperted means friendship:
Naomi being interperted means pleasant:
