Mary

Coming down from Seattle,

arriving in California,

I spent a year alone.

I didn't leave the house

for three months.

It took me five months

to make it back to Church.

By the end of this year,

I started to know a few people.

I'm still not close to any locals.

All's I did was call the folks weekly.

And now, I have a parakeet

which I hope to keep.

For the year, it was me

and the demons 

and Mother Mary,

and she saved my life daily.

Oh sure, there's always St. Ralph,

my guardian angel.

But my life's testimony is to Mary.

These demons are as bad as they say

and worse.

They can get you to kill yourself.

It's not hard for them.

I know and others know.

Mary kept me alive

and she keeps me alive.

A consecration to Mary,

that's my testimony.

That's my witness.

Others have others,

but that's mine.

You have a demon problem?

Then a Marian consecration

is what I recommend.

Others have different success stories,

but mine is Mary's.

You decide.
