Mind the Gap

Mind the gap
Reads the sign
For oft toes trap
Along this line

There is a whole
Between what we know and do
Between our goals
And how we follow through

When we are humble
We're led and travel far
And when... we stumble
We've forgotten who we are

And as we move about
We must remember God's love
Lest we think our traps of doubt
Cannot be risen above

When a young woman becomes an adult
Shall she take a leave of absence?
Membership doesn't come to a halt
But fills our gaps to make the difference

Ours it is to strive and progress
Through faith and a sense of belonging
That as sisters we can grow to retrench
As holy women elevated with longings

Then, let your voice be heard
Preaching alongside the faithful
"Beware, and follow God's word
For, without Jesus, life can be painful"

"Valiantly pay attention
And remove yourself from danger
The Lord offers prayer's extension
Waiting...as, of your trials, He is not a stranger"
