Columbus Day

As a child, I remember a long time ago, of Columbus bravery and this I was told....

A Italian young man so brave and so true,
Knew in his heart what he needed to do.
Before King Ferdinand & Queen Isabella,
he requested audience to bequest....
a voyage-adventure he wanted to test.
They admired his courage and all that he knew,
Gave him their blessing, may God go with you.
He landed at on our native shores in 1493....
and the rest you know is 'blessed-history'.
We honor his birthday on this Autumn day,
and Thank Columbus & Queen Isabella for
believing & supporting....and God showing the way.
