The inward cry revealed a lesson to learn,
Her vulnerable heart sought out to discern.
Time left abandoned, squandered away,
The healthy giver had only good things to say.
Yet cruel intentions betrayed her unaware heart,
That remnant of deception loitered from the start.
Committed devotion now lifeless and astray,
Trampled by the feet where unwanted pearls lay.
Do not give what is holy to the dogs; nor cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you in pieces — Matthew 7:6
