Poem


The chapel stood with grace against the sky of blue,
in setting of lush grass and trees that framed it well.
Within those walls, dear Sisters prayed to God above;
with them, the spell of peace and faith engulfed my soul.

My years in Catholic grade school left me in awe
with feelings deep inside of being close to God;
advanced by gentleness of those who nurtured me
in classes where I learned and chapel where I prayed.

Though just a child, I somehow felt above my years,
transported to a realm outside of earthly ways.
So strong my love for God, I vowed someday I would
become a noble nun to live the life they chose.

I never felt as strong the meaning of true faith
as in those grade school days shared with those sacred nuns.
Such peace I felt within my heart during that time,
while praying openly when sense of God was near.
