He begat her, she begat He
28 generations Abraham to our King
Honorable soul, worthy indeed
Chosen by God, a prophecy to read
A promise fulfilled, a promise foretold
A prophecy kept in the stories of old
An angel appears in a worthy man’s dream
Do not fear what this woman brings
For the prophets have told our King will arrive
Through a virgin birth, welcome this child
Welcome he did, fears laid to rest
Marrying her, passing the test
Laying not with her till the child was born
Foregoing ridicule, mockery, scorn
Trusting prophecy, and an angel sent
Trusting our Savior’s approaching decent
Perfectly recorded, told so well

So many scenes captivated me. I remember being very upset when Dorothy was trapped in the witch’s castle and the hour glass was almost empty. I was crying from fear she was going to die. I also cried, a time after this, when I watched The Cowboys and John Wayne was killed. I thought he was really dead. It was a relief to learn we don’t really kill people in movies; they’re just acting. So many things about The Wizard of Oz impacted my life, including the overarching theme: there’s no place like home. Continue reading “Life Lessons from The Wizard of Oz”
