Ode to Team Uganda

Ode to Team Uganda

The Clarkie Clan led us to Uganda,
On this awesome Christian Mission,
Because we are the team God chose,
We all share in the same vision.

Jules started off the mission,
By trapping his head in the car door,
It didn't really bode well,
For what we had in store.

We were met at Entebbe Airport,
By Moses, our crazy host,
We figured it best to stick with him,
As he knew Uganda the most.

Nikki led us forward, bold, brave
And rather silly,
Although she was rather traumatised,
When she saw Tim's w****. (see note below!)

Sonia 'Powerhouse' Pottage,
Really stepped up the the plate,
It seems her ability to lead,
Has always been innate.

Tim, a football crazy man,
Always a camera in his hand,
He really was taking photos
As soon as we stepped on land.

Grace got excited at everything,
She is a mustard seed,
But water and soil weren't her growing tool,
Chocolate is all she'd need.

Danielle turned as red as a tomato,
When we just said the word 'sun,'
Despite struggling with the heat,
She really had lots of fun.

Ellie is the last student nurse
Of the three,
She made lots of jokes,
And was tricky to take seriously.

Samuel and Sienna were two little love birds,
And Josh and Ruby were getting near,
A joint wedding in the future,
Of this we are quite clear

Livvy asked loads of questions,
And showed such compassion for the poor,
Hope loved everyone she met,
And still wanted to love them more.

We were joined by two Americans,
We'll call them Linda and Teresa,
They have their weird American ways,
They put their water in the freezer.

So this is our Ugandan Team,
Doing the mission God has put on our hearts,
And our love will stay for this country,
Long after we depart.
