Here Follow Some Verses of the Divine Mission By Cameron Parrish

With dense fog over the water and loud waves hitting the ship, I woke. Days dragging on, with every view being ocean, my hope almost broke. I don’t regret my decision to partake in this divine mission, For God has a plan, we will make it to the land, no matter what the condition. Back in England we were persecuted for our beliefs in the Holy Father, In Holland children were persuaded, experiencing consequences we did not consider. Our final solution, a intrepid journey that no amount of suffering can compare, For our children we moved away from mistreatment in Europe from the unaware. As I look out at sea thinking of all that that was lost I see a new land, so divine. God given freedom at last, arriving on shore our glorious sun began to shine.

Unloaded the ship with a sickness from sea, but a joy in heart, We climbed up a hill, a meeting in store from the leader, to make our start. Preaching before us blessing progress with all the men, women, children feeling relief. The ground was untouched, trees were full grown, a place to practice our belief. The fathers thinking of work to provide, while the mothers hold their children and cry. Not tears of despair or regrets, but of succeeding, tears so joyous they felt dry. I look down at my baby, Elizabeth, and smile for God has allowed her survival. As we bow in prayer, her tiny head rests in one arm, no idea of the arrival. The men weary from sea were standing in the name of God, we give him thanks. Women recover, Men felling wanderlust start searching the watery banks.

With our clothes fairly simple and our goals grounded, we follow our God. Beautiful land, untouched by many and the mellifluous water filled with Cod. Our mission was known, a society for God, the whole world was watching. Interested in the outcome of failure or successes, all nations talking. The pressure was felt by few for we all knew and believed in the power of Crist. He knew in the beginning of our successes, he saw no need for religion to coexist. Now here we are, part of the picture making a change for others to consider. No problems will be overcome without faith, in every challenge we shall grow richer.
