PRESENCE Some people enter our lives Like deer Slipping in and out Of the woods. Ruth touched our earth And as we stop To look at her She disappears as quietly As she came. But, we feel blessed For having experienced Her gentle presence. And we give thanks That the world Is a better place Because of the joy That she brought. Sr. Joan Metzner MM Joyce Weinkam started the members in sharing memories of Ruth |
