KAITIE TRILL


THERE WAS ONCE A MAIDEN SO PURE AND FAIR
WHO LIVED UP ON LANDREN’S HILL
A BUBBLY LITTLE RED-HEADED SPRITE SHE WAS
WITH THE NAME OF KAITIE TRILL.

KAITIE WAS A BLESSING TO ALL SHE MET
WITH A HEART OF WARMTH AND GRACE
NOT TO MENTION HER SHAPELY SILHOUETTE
AND PERFECTION OF THROAT AND FACE.

SHE LOOKED LIKE AN ANGEL WITHOUT THE WINGS
SENT DOWN FROM A PLACE UP ABOVE
WHEN SHE SPOKE IN HER TENDER CARESSING VOICE
ALL WORDS WERE SPOKEN WITH LOVE.

MANY A MAN LOOKED LONGINGLY AT HER
SOME WITH DESIRE IN THEIR EYES.
BUT SWEET LITTLE KAITIE WOULD NOT GO THERE
WHEN THEY STARTED WITH THEIR LITTLE “WHITE” LIES.

CHARACTER AND GRACE FLOWED AROUND HER FORM
AS SHE FLOATED FROM PLACE TO PLACE
NO MAN WOULD DARE TO DEFILE THIS ONE
THUS RETREATED WITHOUT ANY TRACE.

ALL LOOKED UP TO THE BEAUTY OF KAITIE
FOR SHE WAS A SIGHT TO BEHOLD
BUT THE REAL DEPTH OF HER GLAMOUR AND CLASS
CAME FROM HER HEART OF PURE GOLD.

WHEN KAITIE WAS BUT A WEE LITTLE THING
HER MOTHER TOOK ILL AND DIED
BUT KAITIE CHOSE TO LIVE FOR THE LORD
SO SHE WALKED DAILY RIGHT BY HIS SIDE.

SHE WAS NEVER ALONE AND FRIGHTENED OF ANY
IF I TOLD YOU SHE WAS, I’D HAVE LIED
HE WAS GOOD TO HIS WORD, AND AS THEY WALKED
IF KAITIE BECAME TIRED, SHE WOULD RIDE.

THE SAVIOUR WOULD PICK HER UP IN HIS ARMS
AND LET HER KNOW HOW MUCH SHE WAS LOVED
THE AURA THAT SURROUNDED THIS DEAR LITTLE WOMAN
COULD HAVE ONLY BEEN BROUGHT FROM ABOVE.

HER LIFE WAS CUT SHORT BY A SPEEDING PASSERBY
AND MANY A HEART BROKE THAT DAY
BUT SEE, HER LIFE WAS NOT REALLY CUT SHORT,
JESUS JUST ASKED HER TO STAY.
