The Beautiful Lady

Before I was of age I longed to go to school. Hand in hand with dad officials went to beg to no avail. Time arrived and did exceptionally well until the physics class when teacher said: you’ll be a repeat in my class unless you score high on this final test. Terror in hand checking little squares next to me standing The Immaculate Conception. Immaculate I understood but not the rest. Test results: teacher shocked and off my horse I was knocked. Need I say I passed? You belonged to school Someone who knew me well said And now to the church

Thank you Connie. Until The Beautiful Lady is glorified pandemics will continue with volcanos' eruptions, coastlands flooding, earthquakes, wars, and famines. And with pain I add: There will be death in the Vatican. I did my little part by making Her physical presence and maternal protection in my time of need known. Everything I said in the poem is true. May Her maternal mantle protect you. You are beautiful Connie
