[medium duct tape]

"Here I am, Lord, I come to do Your will."

             By Laurel Ann Dukart, member Court Marquette #677, Grand Forks, ND 

Division IV, Poetry, Third Place Winner

"Here I am, Lord, I come to do Your will."

Here I am, Lord, down here! It's me,

The Catholic Daughter with the wrinkled and age-spotted hands.

I want to do Your will, Lord,

But at my age how can I fit into Your plans?

I can pray, I can bake,

I can love, that's a start!

I offer to you arthritic hands, blurred vision, 

And my arrhythmic but Adoring Heart!

By Susan Waldon,, Member Court Sacred Heart, 1908 Harvey, ND   

Division II, Poetry, Third Place Winner

"Here I am, Lord, I come to do Your will."

The March for Life

Thirty hour bus ride

Walking through puddles and snow

But all I feel is joy in my heart'What netter way to do Go's will

Than to march for His creation

Each person marching for a cause bigger than himself

Giving a voice to the voiceless

By Gabriel Sagini, Court Marquette #677, Grand Forks, ND
