A girl of beauty, shy and innocent! <br />She liked to stay aloof in her own world; <br />She read a lot of books while in convent: <br />Stood first in school in every exam held! <br /> <br />She had few friends and stayed away from boys! <br />Her dress was neat although simple and cheap! <br />She sang some songs alone in high-pitched voice; <br />She prayed a lot and in her heart did weep? <br /> <br />My elder sister, lovely, sweet and nice, <br />She joined Health Service as a Government Doc; <br />'One blunder in her life proved her unwise! ' <br />She serves the sick and poor by hearty talk! <br /> <br />Did God ignore her desires in life? <br />Lord, save her soul and keep her safe ’midst strife! <br /> <br />Copyright by Dr John Celes 3-8-2006 <br />Fondly dedicated to my belov’d, elder sister, <br />Dr. A.
