Type of Spiritual Experience
Background
I suspect this may have a Christian slant.
"the song Mary had a little lamb is American as the words were written by Sarah Hale, of Boston, in 1830."
or at least Sarah was the first to write the words down.
A description of the experience
Mary had a little lamb
Mary had a little lamb its fleece was white as snow;
And everywhere that Mary went, the lamb was sure to go.
It followed her to school one day, which was against the rule;
It made the children laugh and play, to see a lamb at school.
And so the teacher turned it out, but still it lingered near,
And waited patiently about till Mary did appear.
"Why does the lamb love Mary so?" the eager children cry;
"Why, Mary loves the lamb, you know" the teacher did reply.
