Poem Inspired by "Story of A Soul: The Autobiography of Saint Therese of Lisieux"

In the middle of reading Story of A Soul: The Autobiography of Saint Therese of Lisieux, I was inspired to write this little poem. The book is very good, although it's taking me quite a long time to read it. I borrowed it from my local library (using inter-library loan) but have since learned that it's available for free download on multiple websites too, should you desire to read it for yourself.


The Little Flower Still Blesses

Oh, to love with such pureness of heart
To see our precious Lord Jesus so clearly
To forgive so thoroughly
To trust so fully
To be content as a little flower
in God's great garden of souls
To be one with the Holy Spirit
and truly walk by faith.
I thank God for your example,
Saint Therese of Lisieux.
