I Am Called Ruth

I am called Ruth, Ruth was my first since then I have been hailed and cursed by other names. This one is couth; Ruth was my first, I am called Ruth. The name means love, it's biblical like the Ruth therein - merciful. Never letting push come to shove, it's biblical; the name means love. I'm not ruthless, I forgive flaws, straightforward, I want no applause, precluding guile, daring kindness, I forgive flaws, I'n not ruthless. I have a hope in this brief life to live my name in joy, in strife, to show God's love, to help folks cope. In this brief life, I have a hope.
