A Funeral Prayer

by Eugenius   Aug 10, 2014


O righteous God, kind-hearted and immortal!
Behold the daughter of thy Kingdom Come:
Her name is Grace; she suffered a shortfall,
Nevertheless, she was a true la Femme.

She lived with faith and truly preached thy name,
In her pure heart divinity abode;
But Heavens! Please have mercy on thy dame!
She chose a noose to be her everlasting road.

I humbly pray, o Dieu, with genuflection:
Bless her angelic soul, hallow her,
Caress and love thy daughter with affection
As thou didst in the days of yore.

Thy love is endless, 'tis not an illusion,
Thou givest hope to all the living men.
I here close my prayer. In conclusion
I say: Lead all thy children to thy love. Amen.
