I wrote this poem after reading Anne's diary entry for February 26 1944
* This my chosen spot I may lay me down gaze can only upward be filled with hope anew which grew upon my chestnut tree. tomorrow I am free * No clouds in my sky nor shadows troub'ling me gracefully glide the seagulls silvering droplets sparkle upon my chestnut tree tomorrow I am free * As long as this is so and if my eyes may see my heart can never be sad for me the sun is shining through my chestnut tree tomorrow I am free.

Back in the 70s I was a department manager in one of Britain's largest supermarkets. Pay was good but it was hard work and long hours, I would come home just about bushed.
One day on the way home I picked up a magazine off the pavement, it's banner read God loves YOU, He wants to bless YOU. I thought that sounds nice, I'll have some of that. It was colourful, packed with photos. It was packed with stories about miracles, well I didn't believe any of that but it was American so I made allowances for that and I could see the preacher [T. L. Osborn] was preaching to many 1, 000s of people, mebbe he just got a little carried away. But he had an honest face, Daisy his wife had an honest face. And I sure did like their sermon articles, "Christ IN YOU the hope of glory". So I ticked the box for more copies.
The magazine was shipped from America bimonthly which meant it could arrive any time between 6 and 10 weeks, but I always KNEW traveling home from work that it had arrived that day for sure ... and it always had. I had bought a bible to check out the numerous scripture quotes and when it arrived it was always the same. I disengage the phone and lock the door and settle down to read it cover to cover. Mostly campaign reports and sermon extracts.
One beautiful day I read the 2 page testimony of Juan Santos of Poncé Peurto Rico. He had been a hopeless cripple for 16 years, a poor beggar man but he heard about the gospel campaign being conducted in his city and heard about the miracles so he begged to be carried to the meetings. He was placed far down the field, back to back with a blind woman propping each other up.
Now the woman got healed and she jumped up screaming because she could see, poor Juan Santos flopped onto his back, he struggled desperately to get up onto his elbows but kept flopping back helpless. A local policeman who knew Juan saw what was happening and came and grabbed Juan by the shoulders and hauled him to his feet saying "the Lord is healing you now brother Juan, only believe" And Juan's legs went straight, he stood for the first time for 16 years. He said "I felt like I was 10 feet tall, swaying in the breeze"
The my eyes fell upon a scripture I had seen many times but didn't understand "Jesus Christ is the SAME, yesterday and today and forever" there was an inaudible alarm going off inside me, this is true, then the others are true also. I understood the scripture. Jesus is not a religion, He's a person. Then my eyes fell upon a prayer I never seen before though it is there in all the magazines.
I kneeled and asked Jesus into my heart and I got gloriously saved. I made so much noise my neighbour came running afraid something was happening. Hallelujah.
I didn't intend for it to be all bolded, sorry folks. ... always have a problem with this particular format.
