Mary Helen
January 12, 1999
See how she bears the burden of our age
In peaceful trust as the cancer multiplies;
A focused will upon her lord and sage
A steadfast prayer no force or fate denies.
This shining soul exemplifies a life
Of quiet dignity to persevere,
Unshakable trust in Grace, heart free of strife,
Her love all-encompassing, drawing the Blessed Ones near.
