Moniales, the Dominican Nun Blog, has entered into the desert of Lent. Things will be quiet over there for a while. But right before they went silent, they posted this rather cute poem.
I'M THE DADDY OF A NUN
That day she left me early
I was feeling mighty blue,
Just a-thinking how I’d miss her
And the things she used to do.
But now, somehow it’s different—
With each rising of the sun,
And my heart is ever singing:
“I’m the daddy of a nun.”
Since to err is only human,
There’s a whole lot on the slate
That I’ll have to make account for
When I reach the golden gate.
But then I’m not a-worrying
About the deeds I’ve done,
I’ll just whisper to St. Peter:
“I’m the daddy of a nun.”
