A saintly soul emerged, in silence did she lie. Santa Rosa de Lima, a beacon of light, A virtuous woman, through darkness did she fight.
Born Isabel Flores, with grace in her heart,
She possessed a love, only heaven could impart. Devoted to God, her spirit forever kissed, She yearned to serve, in a world often dismissed.
Strong and steadfast, her resolve never waned,
Through trials and tribulations, her faith remained. In a small cottage, she dwelled with humble pride, Whispered prayers echoing, breaking through the tide.
With roses as her emblem, devotion would bloom,
A vibrant garden of faith, in a world filled with gloom. Tending to the sick, her touch would heal, Their ailments vanquished, as her compassion would reveal.
Self-flagellation, her penance to atone,
Yet her spirit soared, on wings not of her own. An anchor of hope, for the desolate and weak, A guiding light, in despair so bleak.
Santa Rosa de Lima, a patroness so revered,
Her life a testament, to that which we hold dear. A testament of faith, sacrifice, and love, A saintly presence, watching from above.
Her legacy lives on, in the hearts she touched,
Her example guiding, inspiring so much. Santa Rosa de Lima, a name we hold high, A gentle soul, whose spirit will never die.
