MERRY CHRISTMAS !

"Was it a boon ? Oh ! yes Certainly.
My formative years , I do cherish.
The guiding light shows me the way.
In my infancy, I must have done something good."

Five plus and I walked into the chapel.
Mother Superior welcomed me.
She hugged me and blessed me.
"My sweet child," she said softly ,
"Light this candle and spread the message of love.
In your infancy, you must have done something good."

"Was it a boon ? Oh ! yes Certainly.
My formative years , I do cherish.
The guiding light shows me the way.
In my infancy, I must have done something good."

She lead me into the prayer hall ,
and silently Mother prayed for me.
With folded hands she beseeched the Holy Mother.
"Take her into the Carmel fold , Dear Mother ,
Lead her to a virtuous life,
kind and understanding may she be."

"Was it a boon ? Oh ! Yes certainly ,
and my teenage years I do cherish.
The guiding light shows me the way,
In my childhood, I must have done something good."

Eighteen plus and I walked into a new chapel.
Reverend Father welcomed me .
He placed his hand on my head and blessed me.
"My sweet child !" he said affectionately ,
"Light this candle and spread the message of love.
"In your childhood ,you must have done something good."

"Was it a boon ? Oh ! Yes certainly ,
and my teenage years I do cherish.
The guiding light shows me the way,
In my childhood, I must have done something good."

He lead me into the prayer hall
and silently he prayed for me.
Kneeling down before the Lord he prayed,
"Take her into the Xavier fold," Dear Lord ,
Lead her to a virtuous life,
kind and understanding may she be "

"Is it a boon ? Oh ! Yes certainly ,
and my life I do cherish.
The guiding light shows me the way ,
I must be doing something good."
