A Hope

It started out as a feeling
Which then grew into a hope
Which then turned into a quiet thought
Which then turned into a quiet word
And then that word grew louder and louder
'Til it was a battle cry
I'll come back when you call me
No need to say goodbye

Just because everything's changing
Doesn't mean it's never been this way before
All you can do is try to know who your friends are
As you head off to the war
Pick a star on the dark horizon and follow the light
You'll come back when it's over
No need to say goodbye
You'll come back when it's over
No need to say goodbye

Now we're back to the beginning
It's just a feeling and no one knows yet
But just because they can't feel it too
Doesn't mean that you have to forget
Let your memories grow stronger and stronger
'Til they're before your eyes
You'll come back when they call you
No need to say goodbye
You'll come back when they call you
No need to say goodbye

My Narnian Poems

I decided to write some Narnian poems. Or songs, or stories, or whatever you want to call them. So here it goes. :)

More Good
When the Pevensies came,
Aslan came.
And together they brought more good,
Than has ever been seen in a hundred years.

Aslan's Light
Aslan, glorious
Aslan, strong
Aslan sitting on THE throne

Bringing teachings
Bringing good
Bringing light -

God's light,
Aslan's light

Father Time
Time is fading,
Slowly stopping,
Until the end.

Time is slow,
Withering away,
As the clock ticks.

Resting,
Sleeping,
Slumbering,
Until the end of the world.

Kings and Queens, Live Forever
Peter, Edmund
Kings, live forever!
Susan, Lucy
Queens, live forever!

Be magnificent and strong
Be just and never cruel
Be gentle and never harsh
Be valiant and true 

The Golden Age Prophecy

Wrong will be right, when Aslan comes in sight,

At the sound of his roar, sorrows will be no more,

When he bares his teeth, winter meets its death,

And when he shakes his mane, we shall have spring again.

When Adam's flesh and Adam's bone,

Sits at Cair Paravel in throne,

The evil time will be over and done.

Down by the Dam

Mrs. and Mr. Beaver were the first ones in Narnia to take the Pevensies in.  They housed them and fed them. They told Peter, Lucy,Susan, and Edmund about the prophecy, and encouraged them to stay in Narnia.

Well, and these beavers took the prophesied children, minus Edmund, safely to Aslan.

They also were present at the coronation.


You can tell they love each other!

WARNING: Movie and book alert!

Remember, all these posts have material both from the book and the movie. :)

The Weaknesses of the Pevensies

All humans have weaknesses - surely the Pevensies do too! Now to find what they are.....

Peter
Peter should have been able to handle Edmund better - though Ed wasn't making it easy for him! Also, he shouldn't have led his siblings to hide when Edmund broke the window. And he didn't believe Lucy when she said she saw Aslan....

Susan
Susan should have been nicer and more motherly to Edmund and Lucy. She, also, should not have
 hid from Mrs. Macready and led the others to do the same. Especially, she should have kept believing in Narnia!

Edmund
Edmund was always being sour - he could have been a lot nicer if he tried! When Lucy told the others he had gone to Narnia, too, Edmund just told they were playing a game; and broke Lucy's heart. Also, don't talk to strangers, especially those who seem evil! Edmund should not have accepted food from the White Witch, besides. Yet, he could have made it OK, by telling Peter and the rest of his siblings. But he didn't.

Lucy
Lucy does not have many faults. The only one I can think of is that she could have been a little less fussy the first time when the others didn't believe her.

I think is the order of them, from weakest to strongest.

               
Susan
Edmund
Peter
Lucy

Eternal Life

 Many of us wish for a good life, a great life, a life better than our own. How do we obtain this? God is the key. If we make him happy, he will reward us. So we should make God happy, thus obeying his laws.

Hell 
Die in mortal sin, and you shall go here. Hell is the place of suffering and punishment - once here you will never get out.


Purgatory
The people here will get to Heaven, but first they must be purified. Here you shall suffer also, but keep in mind - those here WILL get to Heaven sometime.

Heaven
Here everyone is happy - adoring and glorifying God - enjoying every second of it!

So.. aim for Heaven - the true Narnia!

Fictional Character Spotlight: Narnians

Spotlight: Narnians
Focus point: Real or fake?
Are Narnians real? Perhaps Clive Lewis made them up, or........ can they be a true people?

Thought: Inspired by saints
Perhaps they are not really real, but inspired by saints.

LUCY

Lucy could have been inspired by St. Lucy of Narni. There WAS a small town in Italy called Narni (or as Narnia). C.S. Lewis found this name in an atlas when he was young, and The Chronicles of Narnia might have been inspired from it!

PETER

Peter could have been inspired by one of Jesus' apostles, Simon Peter. They both were strong leaders and protectors, just in different ways.

SUSAN

St. Susanna might have been the base for Susan. Though not much more than the name is similar, they both acted or were mothers. 

EDMUND

Edmund could have had his inspiration from the great Edmund Campion. This wonderful saint must have had his mishaps, just like Edmund does!

Thought: Real
Maybe they really are actual human beings. They look like humans, and act like humans! They could be an old form of humans. Or we are all Narnians! (Narnians could be another name for humans.)

Thought: Fake
They must be fake! What else can be sensible? A lot of authors make up characters - right.....?

Conclusion: Inspired by saints

 Please comment and tell me what are your thoughts!

Susan Finds Hope

After Narnia...

Susan woke up to find her husband gone, probably already at work. Then she looked for Mary and Tom, her little children. They, too, were.....gone! Also, Susan had this urge to go see the wreckage. The graveyard...where her family was buried so long ago. She got up, putting on a dress. Then she softly ran to the door and called a taxi to give her a ride to the wreckage of the train from years ago. And then she saw...something. She told the driver to drop her off here. What she saw, she hardly believed her eyes! It was HIM. It was Aslan. Now was the time to repent, for all those years of sin. Susan went to Him, and knelt.

I am sorry..... Susan whispered, hanging her head in shame. Then she exclaimed, "You didn't forget me!"

"Child", said Aslan quietly. "How could I forget you, a queen? But now you must suffer until you are pure enough for the true Narnia...."

Just then, Susan felt pain, sorrow, sickness... and it felt as if it lasted for years. But then, it all stopped. In front of her was golden steps, the pathway to Heaven. That was when she realized: Narnia was true, and the true Narnia will last forever.

The Study of Fictional Characters

No one really knows whether fictional characters exist. Hopefully my posts will help to base opinions on the topic of seemingly unreal people and things. Please await them!
