Sister Christine

Sister Christine, Father Dave from OLV  moi

If everyone in the world would learn to smile like Sister Christine

Nary a man would e’er be found that’s ornery, evil or mean

The sweetest woman I’ve ever known who’s bright and witty and free

To cheer and inspire with eyes that shine – why of course, it’s Sister Christine

The music she shares for the nuns of St. Joe brings one to heaven’s door

A teacher of life, of knowledge and truth she gave to children galore

Blessed with beauty, blessed with grace, she continues to share each day

She placed such joy within my heart –in my memory she’ll ever stay

It was by chance I met this nun when I volunteered one day

To decorate and share some cake in the convent where they stay

To my surprise, she loved the poems I thought were just a lark

But t’was her great enthusiasm that wrought in me a spark

To send to all my dearest friends a sample of this art

To share and bare my thoughts that lie so deep within my heart

So all that are encouraged by my words I give to glean

Are surely the encouragement and love of Sister Christine
