Faith Alexis Poet Narrative

Miracle On Terrapin Creek

Let me tell you a story
One day, near summer’s end
Martha and her husband
Went canoeing with a friend

Suddenly a log’s there!
And what can Martha do?
Then she’s in the water
She tipped from her canoe

The canoe was righted
But she’s still in the creek
“I cannot climb back in there!
Oh, I am just too weak!”

Then the men were thinking
About what they could do
To somehow get her out
And into the canoe

Then their friend gave warning
He pointed, “Look up there!
In the logs and branches
I saw a snake–beware!”

Now it has been proven
That miracles are true
For when they looked at Martha
She’s back in the canoe!
