Win her with love is what I heard as I watched her walking towards me. She was sixteen and not sure of whom she was. The road had been rough and there were lots of things she did not understand yet. Win her with love, the voices said, so that she will comprehend her lessons.

Speak to her gently so that she will not stray. Speak to her softly, for she is accustomed to harshness and needs to hear a different sound. Speak to her softly so that she can awaken her dormant qualities of greatness. Speak to her softly so that she can remember the sweet and good times, for she has had very little of them. Win her with love so that her survival will be easy. Win her with love, the voices said, and I did.
