Dona Nobis Pacem

Lovely Lady dressed in Blue,
Teach me how to pray!
God was just your little Boy,
Tell me what to say!
Did you lift Him up, sometimes,
Gently, on your knee?
Did you sing to Him the way
Mother does to me?
Did you hold His hand at night?
Did you ever try
Telling stories of the world?
O! And did He cry?
Do you really think He cares
If I tell Him things---
Little things that happen?
And Do the Angels' wings
Make noise? And can He hear
Me if I speak low?
Does He understand me now?
Tell me--for you know?
Lovely Lady dressed in blue,
Teach me how to pray!
God was just your little Boy.
And you know the way.

Beautiful poem, Pauline. I missed the blog blast for peace. I was too busy with my own stress melt down. The year is ending at school and as usual, there is too much to do!
