Sister Mary

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.

A very touching and thoughtful poem that defines our mortality in the most human way. Empathetically. Thank you, Gary, for these caring words.
