Ode to Katy P.

Kathryn Jolene Parrott
A woman of few words...
Strike that.

A woman of many words, arranged by her quick wit into strategic and methodical sentences to pierce the hearts of her enemies, and woo her comrades into absolute loyalty.
Who is this lady called Katy P? Hmm, Let's see...


Compassion and caring is her character;
she serves as one serving the Lord.
Something I'm sure she learned from her mother;
from her father, a love for the Word.

She's nomadic, and not nearly as scared of adventure
as she'd have us all think that she were.
She's a glutton for change, but how can we blame her?
She's been created by Him for His works in this world.

Laughter is her gift to others,
(like an artist) she paints a smile upon each face.
Strength lies in her humor,
her one-liners are by no means commonplace.
(When she has a really witty comment in mind,
sometimes she can barely keep a straight face!)

She's a person devoted to family.
Miles, Elizabeth, Taylor and Grace
are some of her most favorite people.
She loves our kids with a warmth of embrace.

That brings us to her heart for children...
one of her gifts from the Lord.
He's going to make her a mom to the nations,
to the children who are hurting, lonely and poor.

But, before she goes off into the world
to seek the destiny to which she's been called,
Let's enjoy all the laughter, joy and fun times
that Katy shares freely with us all.

Make way in your days for her presence!
Mark your calendars for June 17th!
Parting was such bitter sorrow...
So, Let us celebrate the Homecoming!

Love-Katie Jo
