Bitter Slave
By: Earl W. Haskins
When families fight and will not speak
Or lasting peace they will not seek
Upon a death they’ll fight no more
And then they'll ask what was it for
More bitterness must not be sown
It serves no good as time has shown
So mend your soul and bind the beast
Forgive the one who earns it least
Compassion then becomes the host
For those you know that need it most
Set free a slave if you so choose
And cut those chains you need to lose

before a fall." (Proverbs 16:18)
