St. Bevin
Bevin came to earth as an angel.
She was sent to live as a saint,
But when she saw the condition of the world,
She could not help but feel faint.
It shocked her to see
Girls cutting themseles, or getting raped.
People were dying of disease.
I was the one to help her escape.
I told her all that I knew,
And wrote her poems she adored.
In exchange I didn't expect anything,
But she gave me a reward.
"You are my glimpse of sunshine",
Said St. Bevin,
"Today you gave me wings with which
I'll write your name in the heavens."
She left that day after writing
My name in the heavens.
She waved one last time.
That was the last I saw of St. Bevin.
