Dorothea a Nun

When I was very young,                                                                                                      Dorothea a Nun walked in.                                                                                                             A holy lady,                                                                                                                                      a gift of God was she.                                                                                                           Scared by her habit,                                                                                                                        I ran and hid under the table.                                                                                                        As I peeked under the long table cloth,                                                                                              I watched Dorothea walk around.                                                                                                   Being so young I did not know she was a Nun,                                                                                       I just thought she was scary.                                                                                                                      I wish I had talked to Dorothea,                                                                                                              at the party that day.                                                                                                                                If we had talked then I could say,                                                                                                              I had talked with a holy lady.                                                                                                                As I got older I learned what I missed at the party,                                                                                    I missed a gift of God on that special day.
