Calliope--By Christine Tate--United States

Calliope

The heavenly calliope

God's ballad of love,

an ethereal melody

sent down from above.

It permeates the spirit

and the mind consoles,

fills one with peace

and soothes the soul.

The ear finds pleasure

and His children rejoice

upon hearing the sound

of God's beautiful voice!

(Calliope means "beautiful voice")

They describe their meeting as "God's divine appt." because of their faith, and the fact that they swore they'd never marry again.
