Peter is the Mouth

The Mouth wants to lead his family

So he leads with commands

But he makes mistakes

For his tongue is hard to tame

And his family is separated

Then He comes

He instructs the Mouth

That he doesn’t need

to use magnificent words

To be Magnificent

Only that he must speak Truth

Peter is the Mouth

Susan is the Hands

The Hands are Gentle

The Hands comfort

And soothe

Sometimes the Hands

Wring in distress

Then He comes

He ask her

To trust Him

And she does

The Hands learn

That not all her tasks

Are gently done

So the Hands

Become strong

For her tasks

Susan is the Hands

*~0~*

Edmund is the Feet

The Feet are willful

And he wants to walk

On his own path

So the Feet start out

But he discovers

That his path is steep and dangerous

So he decides

To turn around

Then the Feet learn

That he is walking

On a toll road

To exit he

Must pay the price

The price is too high

Then He comes

He is rich in love and mercy

So He pays

The Feet proclaim

That he will

Travel to the

Edge of the World

To spread His message

And he does

He tells the Feet to

Be Just

Edmund is the Feet

Lucy is the Eyes

The Eyes are the

First to see

The great land

That she loves

As she explores

The Eyes see

Things that frighten her

Then He comes

And the Eyes see

The One who loves her

More than anyone

He teaches the Eyes

That she need not fear

He tells her

That He is always watching

He tells the Eyes

That she is Valiant

Lucy is the Eyes

Aslan is the Head

He teaches the rest

Of the Body

About Himself

They learn that

They can do nothing

Apart from Him

He instructs the Mouth

On the Truth he should tell

He comforts the Hands

And makes her strong

He guides the Feet

Along His own path

He keeps His Light burning

So the Eyes can see clearly

Aslan is the Head
