Four the Love of God

four things that happened 
that day that we fell in love: 
the four doors opened 

forty days at sea 
ended and sailors saw land 
four hundred children 

cracked four thousand smiles 
for forty thousand pilgrims 
trekked four million miles 

for a chance to be 
near the God that made that day 
that we fell in love
