Our Poem
The following poem was written by a dear friend of ours Mr. Ken PettiJohn
As God looked upon his creation one day, toward an island his eyes began to stray.
The time it took to create we could never understand. It was a magnificent assembly of ocean, surf, and sand.
However, He noticed, it was not yet perfect, and He began to endeavor to correct this defect.
It needed more heart, more joy, more soul,...not less. So to the island He would send a heavenly princess.
She would be of beauty, compassion, and grace. With her quick, easy laughter all sadness she would erase.
When the devil heard of this plan, he was quite mean. He managed to corrupt one little gene.
The princess, meant to be so beautiful, was turned into someone mocked, stared at, and spurned.
This should have turned her evil, hateful, and bitter, but this girl was by no means a quitter.
For she still was the princess of laughter and grace, no matter what was the appearance of her face.
Because of her strength, she was never out of God's sight. He guided her to the right paths, though some were full of struggle and fight
He helped her find doctors, and surgeons, who worked with skill and great care, to exact a glorious and miraculous repair.
As much as she was needed on that island shore, God moved her to a country where she was needed more.
God sent to her a prince whose fate was much the same, and it would not be long, before she would share his name.
The problems are less now, no sad tears to be cried, for the princess is now The Beautiful Bride.
