Sister Dorthea
There is a particular nun
that has made an impact upon my life
Sister Dorthea, has been a gift to me,
a true gift of God to this earthly plane.
The light that shines around her
can be felt by all when she is near
and when she speaks,
the sound that comes out
can only be described as angels
singing their heavenly song
in perfect harmony.
I feel so hopeful and I am
surrounded by pure love
when she is around,
but what I feel is more than that.
It's a feeling that I'd imagine to be
what was felt by those who stood
in the presence of Jesus Christ, so long ago.
I believe she brought
some of that energy with her
when she descended from Heaven
to bless all that know her and
with the sole purpose of spreading
that purely unconditional love
and her knowledge of God.
I'd say she is an angel herself,
put here to teach and guide those
that have veered off their own paths
or lost their way completely
in this journey we call life.
She knows so much more than I
in the ways of Heavenly love,
She knows of things in this life
that I couldn't even imagine.
She has such unshakeable faith.
Her faith is so strong that
not even Mother Earths
strongest earthquake,
largest tsunami or
most destructive hurricane
could make it waver.
There was a time in my life,
when my own faith became weak.
She stayed by my side through it all.
She helped me see just how strong I am
and how much my life is worth.
She walked beside me when
I could stand on my own,
and when I'd stumble
she'd offer me her steady hand.
The days where I couldn't go on,
she carried me, pushed and pulled me
and wouldn't let me give up
even if I couldn't see any other way.
I'm here today because of her,
my faith is now as strong as granite
and I have a true connection with God, myself..
I'm sure she wasn't put here
for her to help just one but
Sister Dorthea has been a gift of God
sent from Heaven to earth
to helps those in need, like me.
