Showing Mercy
She was flexible, accepting a variety of lifestyles and ways of living
This helped her find her spot in the world among interesting varieties
She was ostracized and belittled by some absolutists
“"Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy." her mother said.
A reminder to be herself and do what she thought was right.
So, she forgave the ones who had bullied her and put her down.
Two of them met her at the pearly gates upon their deaths.
It is your decision, the angel told her. Shall they have mercy?
Mercy for everyone, she replied, ushering them in ahead of her.
