Three times he asked St Peter, do you love me?
More than the others do.
That is our only fee.
To love him too.

St Paul the Sixth asked us this question so that we should constantly thirst.
He lived for love of Christ and begged us there to dwell.
Putting Christ and gospel, not in the past, but here in all things first.
Our duty to tell.

In Pensiero allla Morte, he wrote my approaching death
Is a gift of love for his church.
I can say I have always loved her and nothing else, with my dying breath.
That is the goal to which he asked us to march.

In his last will and testament, he said build no monument to me.
His legacy is surely love, that is what we can and should see.
