Pathway to Life

Pathway to Life

Mother Bernadette

Daily she walks the canal
Rosary beads her only companion
Contact with God and nature
Silent water sooths her mind
Tranquillity takes over
Prayers in tune with surroundings
Singing birds amen to the Gloria
Our father caught in the wind
Sun praises Mary Mother of God
Away from howling children
And busy routine convent
She reaches her inner life
The journey always the same
Scenes in constant change
Variety of God’s creation
Displayed each day
