A Case of Possession Or Not

She was possessed or so they imagined what else could it be  
only two years old and already she could speak fluent Spanish 
though she never heard the language in the household before; 
She cried for her mother and when her mother arrived she said 
" mommy what is your name " and then the lights in the room 
shut down by themselves...
Then came the night when the window frosted in her bedroom 
though it was summer and the temperatures were way above 
the window frosted with ice and the roomed chilled to below Zero; 
When the Priest attempted an exorcism prayer and genuflected,  
she gave out a guttural laugh and  yelled, " Padre Arrependito " 
repent Father, repent, he ran out of the house like a bat out of hell....

Hilarious, but it's so accurate that repentance is the Jesus way. Unless we do, we are on our own, exposed.vshalim shalom Vie
