SCENE 3    PROVISIONS

There’s rice and oats and barley corn
A musket and a knife
And more rope than I could hope
To use in all my life!
Hammers, nails and powder kegs
Flour, sugar too!
Rice! Nice. Dates! Great.
Pepper? Ah-choo!
And what have we here? A magnificent box!
If only they’d left me the key for the lock.
There’s everything here I could ask for and more
I safely unloaded it all on the shore.
I carefully assembled all I could save
Then I watched as my ship slipped under the waves.

SCENE 8       RAISING CROPS / COUNTING BLESSINGS

Upon this morning English barley, corn is born where nothing grew before.
Hairy goats are tethered only paces from my door.
There's water, wine, and lots of time,
A house, a home, and I remain alive.
There's nuts and grapes and turtles' eggs,
Hammers, nails, and powder kegs and knives.

True, I have been left alone,
No company, all on my own,
No help, no hope, no home, a castaway.
But why count up what I have not,
I should give thanks for what I've got
I prayed for help and help arrived today!
