A lesson in Grace

There used to be a rich old King,
Who told the officials to come in,
And give him the money they owed him,
Then one by one, their cash they would bring.

A man came forth who could not pay,
And through his shame he had to say,
"I have no money, there's just no way,
can you spare me another day?"

And so that man was let off the hook,
And all his debt was erased from the book,
He left the building with a grateful look .

He went into a meeting place,
A debter of his, knelt and looked at his face,
he pleaded to him and asked him for grace,
And told him I need a few more days.

But the man that was kindly let off his debt,
was very mean and seemed to suddenly forget,
and told the man he would make him a threat,
and if he didn't pay, it would be something he'd regret.
