CREOLA

THERE WAS A VERY BEAUTIFUL FRENCH GIRL,

CREOLA WAS HER GIVEN NAME.

SHE WAS GENTLE, KIND AND MERCIFUL,

COMPASSION SHOULD HAVE BEEN HER MIDDLE NAME.

SHE WAS SO LOVELY AS A LITTLE CHILD,

SHE PLEASED EVERYONE AROUND.

SHE DID ALL THAT SHE WAS TOLD,

AND HER LOVE DID GREATLY ABOUND.

ONE DAY AN EVIL MAN CAME INTO HER LIFE,

HE BATTERED AND BRUISED THIS CHILD,

AND WHEN THEY FOUND HER STILL ALIVE,

HER SISTERS NEARLY WENT WILD.

YET SHE REGAINED HER VIBRANT HEALTH,

AND GRADUATED SCHOOL WITH NATIONAL HONORS,

SHE WAS STILL VERY GENTLE AND KIND,

YET, SHE DID NOT DISHONOR

THE MAN THAT HAD NEARLY KILLED HER,

SHE FORGAVE HIM, YOU SEE.

AND THE LOVE OF JESUS WITHIN HER HEART,

BROUGHT HER HERE, TO YOU AND ME.

THIS IS HER STORY, A STORY THAT IS TRUE,

EXCEPT "CREOLA" IS NOT REALLY HER NAME,

FOR SHE COULD BE ME, OR BE YOU.

THE OUTCOME IS ALWAYS THE SAME.

BUT KNOW ONE THING, MY LOVELY FRIENDS,

THIS CHILD IS A WOMAN, GROWN.

SHE IS STRONG AND STILL QUITE LOVELY,

YET, SHE SHALL ALWAYS BE ALONE.

FOR THE THING MOST TAKEN FROM HER,

WAS HER TRUST OF HER FELLOW-MAN,

BUT THE LORD IS WORKING WITH HER ON THIS,

AND HE SHALL FULFILL HIS PLAN.
