My Island Home copyright2006 by Lori Quick

"There was a girl
when only 4
got on a plane and went.

She flew to a land
surrounded by sea
that would be her
island home.

The language she learned easily
because she was so young,
and friends made just as easily
as soon as they had met.

This joyful, carefree, loving girl made everyone her friend.

With friends she
laughed and
played and
sang and
colored...

...and then she'd swing.

Good friends were they:
her native friends
that adored her
curls of red
and her
face so light.

Not older than five when
she heard the Easter Story;
about the death and resurrection of
the Jesus from her songs,
the "Jesus loves me this I know
for the Bible tells me so."

She saw a drama that made
the story come alive
and where she heard the Easter Story
in languages, all three.

She would decide to
love this Jesus
who loved the world;
even all the children of the world.

And with the faith of a child,
she asked Jesus
to make her heart His home.

For she knew the story was true,
Jesus died for me and you,
so we could live and share his
wonderful LOVE with all the people we meet."

Ah the memories.

This is a story of a passport and its owner too. This passport has been to many places. To islands and other islands and south of the border and to the island continent. Indonesia, Australia, Mexico, USA of course. But I've been all over the USA and this is the first time I've been to New York! I've been to Chicago, Nashville, San Francisco, Seattle, Sacramento, Portland, Eugene, and Salem. Just to name a few of the bigger cities.

So begins another verse in the song of a traveler.
New York Countdown: 7 days!
