Lady in Waiting

A poem written for a lady about to become a nun.

LADY IN WAITING
Dedicated to Robin Santuci

There’s a lady who’s waiting for
her heart’s true desire
She’s searching in the houses of God.
Her beautiful heart with love is afire
And on His holy ground has she trod.

This lady will be waiting through
all of her lifetime
Serving the commands of the Lord.
Through her praying, and fasting,
and self-sacrificing,
She will bring many to God’s great reward.

So may God bless and keep her,
this Lady in Waiting,
And guard her through
all of her days.
And may Mary, the Queen of the
Ladies in Waiting,
Direct her in God’s Holy ways.
