She Believes We Are All Gods Children

She no longer wears a habit, our nun. Does this make her less holy? Certainly not. She has been called penguin, our nun. By those who have not been called to serve And are confused by her faith. She does not seek extra attention, fortune or fame. She works selflessly Helping others She spends her life mothering children not of her loins But all God’s children, for she believes we all are. Sometimes uplifting them more than their flesh mothers She works tirelessly, our nun Even if we are not Catholic, we can claim her. She belongs to the world, a proponent of Godliness and the trilogy.
