and the full pink moon’s blooming—

Three Virtues
Wellton Memorial Cemetery, Wellton, Arizona
To submit one’s hope
to her who bore the Baby
is not a lost cause.
She will instruct you
in the tangled ways of love—
you have naught to fear.
Finding faith renewed
is the highlight of her way—
every pilgrim knows.
