Humanity's Best
The nuns in the Abbey adore Emma,
for she often visits them after school.
And volunteers her time and assistance,
barely thirteen, she thinks that nuns are cool.
It fills her parents with a sense of pride,
when she discusses becoming a nun.
For they know, she has so much love to give,
judging by the things she's already done.
It sometimes takes a little persuasion
to get her to leave the park before dark.
For she has a profound love of nature
and a tinder heart awaiting a spark.
An example of humanity's best,
she's an inspiration for all the rest.
