the clock strikes at twilight
as i lay prostrate on the floor in the chapel
with outstretched hands
weeping in silence, in pain
the pain of leaving this place
my home of five years
five happy and glorious years
i closed my eyes....
trying to listen to the Lord's voice in my heart
shalom, my daughter
i love you so much
but i know deep within you
you wanted to be with him
you wanted to share your life with him
in a special corner in your heart
let me in, let me love you more
i am always with you till the end
i will never leave you
my peace be with you
the nuns started to pray and sing
glorious songs..singing Hallelujah to the Lord.
one by one..i handed over
the veil, my habit
for five years
my symbol, my vow to serve Him faithfully
at the choir loft..children singing with tight voice
i know there are tears, i know
i cant contain anymore..i cried and cried
as they sung..farewell dear sister..farewell
passing by the corridor
lovely flowers,send off gifts, books
neatly arranged in my working table
another heart warming episode
i cannot take this anymore
hurriedly i went outside
the bright moonlight seem to light my way
another chapter of my life begins..
note: This is the most memorable chapter
in my life..my last moment with the nuns
and the children..in the convent.
