Sister Mary

Gary Edward Geraci

 

Vivacious young believer

Glowing in her youth

Takes a veil, vow, and habit

And now loves us kindly too.

 

Though we’ve seen our better days

And walk with slippered feet

Sister Mary cares for us

And assists with the food we eat.

 

We might be cross and angry

Longing for visitors

So she makes the sign of the Cross

And takes us on Heavenly tours.

 

Each night for us we end in prayer

Her voice so soft and kind

Some of us will not wake from sleep

But it’s sure, Heaven we will find.
