Sister Margaret's
been here many years In service to the children and the
Lord. She is one lovely note within a
chord Too vast and beautiful for human
ears. Even those who've carved out bright
careers Remember long and fondly one who
gave More love to their young hearts than they could
save, A river sweeping through their childhood
tears; Remember, too, the beauty of a
life Given as an act of charity, All of it,
not one desire held back. Ruled by need, they pause in
harmony, Even in the midst of daily strife, To
see in her a passion that they lack.
