Week Two Mini-Retreat for Mothers...St. Patrick's day and more...
"Soulcake" - a Poem for All Hallow's Eve
All Hallow's Eve or "Soulcake"
Many children look forward
to this night every year
To obtain candy and treats
This night filled with fear
Knock on the neighbor's door
Yell, "A penny for a soulcake."
"What's a soulcake?" Asks the Mama.
"It's a cake we pray and then we bake!"
"Pray for who?" asks the Mama.
"We pray for all souls gone before us."
"The souls that have died and now wonder around...
This evening on the school bus!"
Soulcake, Soulcake!
Yum, Yum, what a treat!
This is no trick!
It is a tasty treat!
A soulcake is made like a donut dough
with a filled cream center
and tastes so wonderful goodness
And it is a wonder so splender!
Soulcake, Soulcake!
Yum, Yum, what a treat!
This is no trick!
It is a tasty treat!

About the Author
About Me: I am a Catholic Mother of 4 children. I love writing about pregnancy and childbirth as I am a doula. However, I decided to write a few books recently and my books include: "A Catholic Postpartum", "Little Way of Motherhood" (about pregnancy), "Hope Through Sorrow" (Miscarriage/Bereavement book), "The Comfort in Birth Method", etc. My favorite saints are St. Therese and St. Zelie' Martin (and St. Louis). I love Our Lady Immaculate Heart as well. Please pray for me and I'll do the same for you! Thank you.
