A beautiful gaelic name

Chosen for its charm

Perfect for a baby girl

Still in her mothers arm

Meaning god is gracious,

And god is kind,

God is merciful,

But your god or mine?

As the girl grows

So does her wit

Questioning tradition

Where others blindly commit

To a man up above

Working from the heavens 

Who knows all and sees all

and heard every confession

She struggles now

Like most teenagers do

With pain and faith

With what in life is true 

With love and lies

 With family and friends

With trust and doubt

With beginnings and ends

First assigned to her at birth

Now a phrase with empty meaning

A girl with no god

In a world overweening
