Saint Theresa the Little Flower

A cross held high
 through her poor estate
 should would grow through the solace
 a respectable young youth
 by her testimony many would flock
 to the divine order she would arrive

 loving hands to unfold, sharing & caring
 the debris lining the outside street
 people to meet
 she had a heart saturated with truth
 in order to withstand the truest test of time
 Illumination

 Embraced by the holy spirit to her heart
 silence, darkened pillars, cathedral decorum, ministry advice
 solace, spiritual aspects, alone & quiet
 to relish the given ambiance of being still in the moment
 she made her way into are hearts
 loving hands to unfold love's outpouring

 to take part in the dance of life
 a beacon of light to a much hurting world in need
 little flower adore her sweet fragrance
 Jesus has manifested your magnificence
 sometimes in a trance to realize the masters plan
 it was only in pray where the sweet melodic embrace unfold
 cascading falls with the desire to help the mass population

 the sick, elderly & widow
 shelter lies dormant amidst it's beckoning plow
 a challenge to be free was a question of time
 She was a Catholic the faith she had embraced
 the little flower we can look to for heavenly peace
