The Boy and the Priest - Dominia

Young boy lost his parents in an accident

They were laying dead on bloody sand

He was distraught, nothing more to say

Loss and bitterness darkened his day

Poor boy watched his mother’s death

Lonely boy heard his last father’s breath

Angels were keeping silent over the hopeless

Angels were crying

The boy became faithless

Demons found him close to his dead parents

They were all laughing at this scene of violence

One of them was screaming blasphemous words

«No God for you boy,

We are your new Lords!»

Souls of the parents defended their child

They shone a light, the Demons went wild

Vomiting blood, Satan went out

Came running down, made a terrible sound

After some days, the boy was in sorrow

Bitterly crying, dreading tomorrow

Small boy was blind, only could grow

Only could grow to his parents' gravestone

In his eyes beautiful mother

In his eyes powerful father

In his days, the sun’s rising never

Nothing to cure… The boy is blind forever

Priest has always been listening to the boy

He was finding the right words to hold

To hold up the child and hold his hand

Priest spent much time with the boy

They talked about God and love,

The boy’s chosen to serve to God

«God has you in His light now

My boy, you will be happy now

You’ll understood the path you’ve found»

«Our God is a merciful Father

our lady Mary Mother

They love you all the day and night»

«My boy, tell me, do you love me like God?»

«My priest, I do, I love you as my Dad.»

«Now my boy, you feel my love?

You are my son and God is above

God loves you through me, my boy

Now you’ll feel paradisiacal joy»

«Be happy boy, God loves you

Through my flesh, feel his love

My handsome boy, your dream came true

Your eyes shining, like sweet morning dew»
