Woe is Me and It’s all Mine
Skipped to the park one day
While Jimmy-Gimme tagged along
To demand his right to play
And they all laughed how Sister Faith
Agreed to stay at home
To mop the floor and wash the plates
So, they left her there alone
First Jimmy climbed up on the swing
“Gimme a push!” he cried.
But Me and Mine ignored Him and
Went whooshing down the slide
Till strutted up IKnow-it-All
With Big Bro Mockery
Along with Violence sliding in
Each smiling wickedly
The sisters shook in dread but then
Sweet Faith rushed to the scene
And without fear went toe to toe
And stood there in between
She looked into his eyes until
Mockery slunk away
Soon followed byI Know-it-All
Yet Violence chose to stay
Then from a sheath he drew His blade
But Faith spoke quietly
Your weapon will not work today
Our Father protects me
So Violence just shrugged and said
"I’ll be back." and off he paced
Then Little Jimmy ran and threw
His arms ‘round sister’s waist
While Me and Mine each took Faith’s arms
With smiles that come from Heaven
To see their family all restored
With Faith all sins forgiven!
