Perhaps my name shall never be Ranked with the greats in history; Perhaps great wealth I shall not gain My lips kissed not by fine champaign; Perhaps deep thoughts I shall not think Nor save the world from peril’s brink; Perhaps diseases I can’t cure Nor plan devise to end all war; A purpose, though, was given me; A grand design – my destiny; A noble call – make no mistake; A contribution I shall make; ‘Till breath of life’s no longer mine My soul shall sing His love divine; This vessel crafted for His use Shall ever share such love profuse. |

The only fame you need is in St. Peter's journal of all the souls and hearts you touch here on earth as you love and reach out to your fellow man in the name of Christ. Lovely write. |

Denise, This is so beautiful. Your love and faithfulness to God really shines through in this piece. You are such a gifted poetess. Often times I have read your words to think, "if only I could express like that". I love the humility within your words and may your words speak for me too. Lovely in every way. Marcy |

This poem is right on! When Mother Teresa received her Nobel Prize, she was asked, "what can we do to promote world peace? and she relied, "Go home and love your family." Something so simple but some people find hard to do. [This message has been edited by Septsong (edited 10-15-2000).] |

What higher calling could one have than the honor of serving our Almighty Father? You've said it so well, and that you consider it an honor is obvious in all your work. Thank you for this and all the spirit filled poem you share. Rae |
