Gifted with the true Light,
beauty is Clare’s life:
duty and delight to
mirror all God’s love.
Beauty in her dear soul —
deep serenity;
Poverty of life told
riches of God’s love.
Beauty with her Sisters,
Clare’s compassion,
passion to insist a
path for all to love.
Beauty in our planet,
Clare loved living things.
Sings so strongly. Fan it!
Worship God with love.
Beauty in her praying,
Clare holds up the Host,
Boasts in all of staying
with Him who died Love.
Following Saint Francis,
Clare marks out a way:
Pay your love to Jesus —
God surrounds with love.
