To the Editor:

I’d like to place a petal
at the footsteps of the Pope,
to pay a little homage,
as a humble servant should.

I hope the petal prospers,
like those in Diego’s cloak,
With many fragrant roses,
And ushers a world of good.

With this poetry bouquet,
I offer to the Pope, and pray
his mission is successful,
and bears fruit in every way.
