Poem
(To be read after my 'Fire and Brimstone'.) Dragon Fly, Dragon Fly, fly away home. You’ve caused enough trouble here, I am told. All you wanted was to ring the church bell, but the belfry your body did not take well. Terrible things happened all around, and the belfry you left is certainly not sound. Old Lady Moore still has her cane, to protect them again, if you cause harm, within. Old Lady Swanson’s lost hat is her major complaint, apologize profusely, be a saint! The Church belfry will need lots of work; by the carpenter Trolls to fix it’s bridgework. The people all need to calm down, they were scared and now the church is shutdown. Looks like they’ll need a new fancy annex to be built for weddings and such… To help them forgive… even… ever… slightly… enough. Though, of course… The preacher himself…wants you back, for sure; I am definitely, and totally assured. He’s never been inspired to such lofty greatness to soar, never, not even, once before. He says you hold his key, to reach the lost, as they tune in to see what’s coming next. He wants to add even, the Trolls to the mix. If they can be saved, well, you get the gist. And you’ll have to attend church for quite a while, yes, still, as an itsy bitsy Dragonfly. You’ll need to get forgiveness from all, you know, before you grow big, again, I am told. The witch is quite clear on this spell, a dragonfly you’ll stay till everything’s made well. Seems, you also, owe them an apology, for half scaring them… well… nearly to death. Bumps, bruises, and a broken arm need to heal, from jumping over the pews, they feel. Plus some of the teenagers, have made tee shirts of you, and want your autograph, too. You see, your limited edition, when signed, will pay their way to bible camp, this time. And the girl with the cast on her arm, wants a picture of you on a leash, so be charming! You see, you scared her, a really whole lot, if she can pet you, her fear will be forgot. It seems, you really messed up, this time, you see… but all will be forgiven, eventually. So Dragon Fly, Dragon Fly, fly away home. They understood, once your story was told. If you agree to all I have said: They’ll give you a bell outside, to ring before church… Each and every Sunday Morn, with a special alcove, made for only you, to perch... Remember, if God can love a mischievous little Dragonfly... And he can love you, too. So until next church time... Bye Bye...
