Poem
TI1e Little Glass Slipper
God gave us His pron1ise. He cannot lie!
It doesn't matter if the others mock! Let's just be faithful ru1d \vait for his return.
Just rementber, He promised. The Prince Channing of God 'vill come
'vhen the tin1e is just right. 1\tlother said that 'vhen the flowers begin to blootn and the springtime of God's spirit be in the earth,
the voice of the Lord 'vill be heard ~ the land. l-Ie 'vill call for his tnate.
Let's make the special preparation, for soon, this great prince 'vill pass through the land
and he 'vill stop just long enough to see if the glass slipper 'vill fit your foot.
