         Give grace and kindness with the things in your hand
         Be careful with touch how those things will land.
         Only touch lovingly the things you would get
         from others you touched and others you've met;
         For the things you give others with love or with spite
         Will return someday to you with even more might.

       He proceeded to throw her into the sheep's pen.
       
       He gathered his pears and his apples and suet
       And tried for a week to divorce and undo it
       But preacher man said you are bound to the wench
       Now Spannigan Hannigan sits on his bench
       
       Just trying to figure out how she got through.
       "My pudding," he cried."So now here's what I'll do.
       I'll bake no more pudding and then she will go."

       Was her long-lost lover, whom she'd drempt of before,
       but this was real life, not a dream anymore!
       
       Still with the tender kindness in his eyes,
       and the same loving soul, incapable of lies.

    Suzie had almost given up love
    From the moment her half went up above
    But good god gave her one chance more
    A new love to cherish, embrace and adore

    Starting her life with vigor anew,
    Thanking the Lord for pulling her through,
    Walking with strength of mind and heart,
    To fill perfectly into her new part!
