My Godmother

No connection of clan or kin,

No reason why she must,

She simply prayed for me.

I did not ask her to,

Or even suggested it,

She simply prayed for me.

My struggles and tribulations

She took onto herself,

She simply prayed for me.

No lectures of condemnation,

Or judgmental tones,

She simply prayed for me.

When I did not understand

Either the Cross or Charity,

She simply prayed for me.

Because of this I learned

What happens when people pray,

And gratitude for those who do.

And that is why I call her my Godmother.
