Supplicant

"And help to cure them" The religious devotee prays "Let them know peace Throughout their days" Head bowed and hands clasped In pious supplication She feels the love Of holy exultation Her God is her reason, Her sustenance, her very breath Her past and her future Her life, her eventual death She believes wholeheartedly That she is part of God's Plan To bear the sins of His children In every way that she can When she is called To sit at God's side She will pass-on happily Knowing that she tried To always do The best that she could: To do no soul harm, To always do good She is confident of finding favour When Judgement on her is passed Only then will she be sent to Her eternal rest at long last. Until that day comes She offers-up her prayers and her tears And knows in her heart That her God always hears.
