As you may have concluded, Lucy was our very own Mrs. Amy Aduddell, second grade teacher. We thank her for sharing her talents both in acting and writing. Below is the poem Mrs. Aduddell wrote for us to sum up her reflections.Lucy’s Cautionary Tale"
By Amy Aduddell
To a cautionary tale,
Of a boy who did not wait
To have good things upon his plate.
His bitterness and selfish pride
Led Edmund to the darkest side;
They kept him blind - he couldn’t see,
The “White Queen” was his enemy.
And so you see, he made bad choices-
And listened to the wicked voices.
The Turkish Delight & lies he told
Had left a sickness in his soul.
So further down the path he’d stray
He should’ve gone the other way.
His throne was there at Cair Paravel
And not there in the witch’s jail.
He chose the wrong & not the right,
And sold his soul for Turkish Delight.
An evil witch, a promised throne,
Would leave him empty and all alone.
But then he felt it was too late,
His treachery had sealed his fate.
And though he wished with all his might
He had no power to set things right.
But let not your heart begin to sink,
“-though it may be harder than you think.”
For Edmund’s folly – his sin and such,
Have consequences and matter much.
The Lion King now became,
his only hope, the only name,
“He is not safe, but He is good”
Aslan – King of all the wood.
What’s to be done? Oh, what’s to be?
Only Aslan can set him free.
The innocent one – must sacrifice,
But He is willing to pay the price.
Now don’t look too harshly on Edmund’s sin,
For see we all are just like him.
Our sins and wrong things that we do,
Have left us needing a Savior too.
So if you’re lost, in a dark place,
Call out to God and seek His face.
His promises are always best,
Just do what’s right and you’ll be blessed.
Wait on God – for His best plan,
Read His Word to understand.
You’re patience will require faith
But His promises are worth the wait.
