NaPoWriMo: Day 8 – Talisman

 

St. Cecilia in the Shrine of St. Roch, New Orleans

Talisman

I was given Our Lady of Guadalupe for

faith,

I gave her away for cancer.

I was given St. Jude for

hope,

I gave him away for a healthy birth.

I was given a fleur de lis for

love,

I gave it away as a reminder of home.

Tokens of friendship

given

to me, passed on to others.

  1. zouxzoux, a beautiful poem with its sentiments, the best gifts we receive are the ones we share with others. I love the photo. I am digging these shots of your home.
