Veronica, Veronica, such a Saintly name, <br />She carefully cleansed the Face of Jesus <br />When He was almost lame... <br />Walking along the 'Dolorosa' <br />With gentleness she came <br />And using her veil, she dried the dampness <br />From the Holy brow, and so continued to Calvary <br />Where Jesus was placed upon the Cross <br />As to God - He kept 'the vow'.<br /><br />Joyce Hemsley<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-veil-from-history/
