This tells of mystic tales
Spun by saints that seek to free
Unraveling magical veils
Ancient for all to see
Floated down time by gales
About those who won't flee

Traumatized yet they smile
As they walk another mile

Uncurbed by the meandering Nile
Sacred unsullied and cultured
Untouched by the vile

They never go pale
For He knows no fail
He is there for the meek and frail
Always drilling them to the right rail
Smiting the dragon's tail,
Destroying its boat and tearing it's sails
The hand that was grooved by the nail
Prevents all from eternal fail

Now grab your file and rejoice
Make a tome of your home's tile
For you were given a spiritual choice
Look for blessings on your lonely isle.
