Story Teller

The story teller came to town

Long beard and flowing gown

He came with a smile

He would stay for a while



Told stories for all to hear

Old stories from another year

Always had a moral at the end

People came from afar to attend



He never had a bad word to say

Teaching stories of peace everyday

But some did not like the words he said

They put a price on his head



Said he was an enemy of the state

Arrested him to face his fate

He went with them with his own free will

Nailed him to a cross on a hill



People came from far and wide to cry

He smiled, for them he would die

Told them believe in him and he is here

Believe, and his spirit is always near
