Placed out of sight on a dusty shelf,
Hidden in the gloom without honour,
Stands an old porcelain figure
With the gentle face of the Madonna.
She had once stood in a place of pride,
On the mantel watching over all;
Now she stands out of sight on a dusty shelf
Because she did not answer a sorrowful call.
So now the dusty porcelain figure
Stands to remind us all,
How like our minds is the dusty shelf
Where we place God until we call
