Ruth Blazes

The man of valour responded 
To the woman of valour
As the baton got passed to the
Kinsman redeemer
He took the problem to the city gate
For resolution
Since there was a potential kinsman redeemer
Closer to the family
But once he knew the steep cost involved
He withdrew from redeeming the land
So Boaz married Ruth
And we think, 'Oh a romance!'
And miss God's contribution
To this holy endeavour
Raised through partnership
When Ruth, the barren widow no more,
Gave birth to a boy
Who she puts into the arms of Naomi
Leaving the curtain to close
On an exclamation,
"Naomi has a son
