Saintly Soul

 

She doesn’t read the papers

Is saddened by the news,

Walks after rainstorms

In puddles without shoes,

Lives on an island

To be close to the sea,

Eats toast and jelly

Every day for tea,

Has no religion

But is a saintly soul,

Speaks softly to the heavens

At midnight from a knoll.
