she met a man and felt love's bite
but then they started just to fight
he hurt her and broke her heart
for a short time she fell apart
back together with new friends
that's where the relationship ends
never forgiven, never let go
held on to the pride, took it in tow
around the world traveling light
not knowing the reason for her plight
alone and lonely in each place
always seeking a new face
some boy to love her for herself
not put her up on some high shelf
all she wanted was to be a bride
but she was a slave to her pride
finally humbled and filled with defeat
she knelt down at Jesus' feet
she finally let all the anger go
and then her face started to glow
tough lessons she suffered from pride
easily avoided with God as a guide
but letting go of her own will
and learning to trust and be still
was not an easy lesson to take
and it required a rough little shake
but what are the rewards for humility?
wisdom and honor and great victory!
winning won't come to those who boast
it comes to those who suffer the most
if you are having an uneasy time
I hope you gained comfort from this little rhyme
