   Samson was a strong
   young man
   Could kill an elephant with
   One hand.
   His hair did make him 
   brave and Strong
   but he was weakened
   by the one.

   The one he loved 
   Delilah_ dear
   She tied him up
   and cut his hair.
   Immediately
   it disappeared.
   His enemies 
   No longer feared.

   The muscles in his arms
    now weak.
    They whipped his back
    and smacked his cheek.
    They bound his hands
    and tied his feet.
    Delilah did pretend
    to weep.
    
    She kissed his lips
    before he died
    and deep within
    his heart he cried.
    And his strength it 
    did return.
    He shook the 
    building to the ground
    and everything within
     it died
    for the tears that
   Samson cried.
