A year or so ago, Agnes wrote a poem for my husband appropriate for today's feast. May God bless and keep all our husbands and fathers!
Protector of the Family
by Agnes (about age 11)
In different times and places do they stand,
Saint Joseph and the sturdy father who,
Works hard and long each day to feed his band,
Of merry little ones, their mother, too.
Yet none can name a difference between
Saint Joseph, and the man who at the door,
Is greeted by his wife and tiny son,
Such is the payment he has waited for!
Saint Joseph, please protect and bless this man,
Who shields us from the wicked things below,
Who, in his turn, protects his family,
Just as you did, so many years ago.
All these ideas are just wonderful! Thanks!!!!
