He walked back toward our colony quite fast,
He had news to proclaim from out past town.
A ship they saw! New coloners at last.
Months and months had passed without such a sight.
They had almost lost hope, that people would come.
Their colony was struggling, They had little might
No one wanted to work, just wanted a reward.
No gold or silver has been found so far
They still had hope, but ever so little
This new ship would change, set high the bar
Of work to accomplish. New crops to grow.
Now they have people to work. Life would change.
Their colony would be prosper.
England would be proud, and send reinforcements.
The Indians have been harsh to the settlers.
Attacking at all hours of the night.
So far, their fearless leader has held them off.
But no telling how long he would last.
As he neared town, he began to yell.
"Ships are here! Have no more fear!"
People came to town square in dozens,
Loud shouts and mummers were heard.
The settlers follwed him back to shore.
Everyone ready to meet their new friends.
