THE POOR SERVANTS OF THE MOTHER OF GOD

A POEM FOR FANNY TAYLOR – PSMG 140 Years 

I am proud of my Great Grand Aunt’s life.. that was so good 

And of her message... that is so clearly understood 

I am proud at the wonder of this special 140 year celebration 

And at the selflessness... the SMG Sisters are showing to this nation

I am proud to be related to a Lady... who was so genuinely holy 

For she spent her whole adult life caring for the Lowly 

I am proud to attend this celebration of the Order that Fanny founded 

And I appreciate how beautiful the spoken words have sounded 

I am proud that Fanny’s message has spread so widely overseas 

I’m thinking of the holy Sisters, who do so much to please 

I am proud when I read the journal: “Pray & Promote” 

The content never fails to induce a dryness in my throat

I am proud at the simplicity of Fanny’s religious devotion 

As I watch all those... here present... displaying such emotion 

I am proud about life’s Picture that Fanny’s holy Sisters paint 

And I believe that Christ’s Church on earth will canonize a Saint
