Beyond a Fairy Tale

To live verily joyous forever There in heaven with God In His house of many mansions Along streets of gold… Is my Scripture-pictured story Highlighting the Lord’s love and grace Surpassing any glamorous fairy tale. For today’s exploration of varied celestial rooms I’m pleased to expose to your imagination An awesome bedroom of delight Filled with animated toys awaiting your visit Ready to show how they blissfully became blessings Through their kindness, gentleness, and helpfulness To children, especially those with disabilities. Ushering the young guests is David One of your favorite Bible characters Dressed in his shepherd boy attire. “Welcome to my room, See that Bible on the bed? That’s the supreme book in this palace… Manual of life with victory-instructions.” When all visitors are seated comfortably, He continues, “This Bible is authored by the Lord Who wrote and showed the greatest love story ever told Where we can find the John 3:16* I believe you can quote.” As the children recite the verse, all the toys join them in chorus... Then David plays with his harp, leading the crowd to sing “Alleluia” Transforming the room into a children’s choir platform. “Amazing! Praise be to the Saviour!” Such is the ecstatic exclamation of David Shaking each child’s hand for the worship song They awesomely rendered, with pure faith. “I will soon narrate to you about my sling Used by God to slay Goliath. Let us pray and give to the Lord all the glory He deserves.” Such I will expound to my “special son” Who loves listening to stories with visuals Foremost are biblical events that manifest The Almighty’s power, compassion, and miracles… His healing, provisions, wonders Specifically showcasing the Gospel of Jesus Christ For our redemption, secured and sure. *John 3:16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” February 15, 2019 3rd place, "A Fairy Tale For Children - New" Poetry Contest Sponsored by Eve Roper; judged on 2/24/2019.
