Robert Francis Prevost - Pope Leo XIV

Robert Francis Prevost:
a brilliant man but not one to boast.
He brings a message of peace, love and hope,
and holy smoke! He’s the new pope.

Robert Francis Prevost:
as Leo XIV, he will not coast.
And another thing we know about the man:
he is a devoted baseball fan!

Child of the Street

“Consequence”
Smile, Smile, Smile my little child, Smile.
I know you can  
Oh, little child of the street.

Pope Francis says, 
“You are a consequence, 
A consequence of war.”
Your tattered clothes, 
Your blackened face,
You’re all alone,
You have no home.

Smile, Smile, Smile my little child, Smile.
I see your tears,
I feel your pain,
You bear the cross 
Of mankind’s wrath.
You have no smiles.

Smile, Smile, Smile my little child, Smile
You tell the fate of mankind’s hate.
There is no love.
There is no joy.
You are just a child, 
A child of the street,
Who knows not how to Smile.
“Consequence” your name.

Pope Francis

My Dearest Pope Francis,
Although your beautiful body is gone, Us Catholics will remember you forever. As a Catholic person, I will never forget you. Your legacy will remain within our hearts. As always, God sends His very best at the right time. I will not mourn for you, you will never be gone to me.  The Church may have lost a great soul, but to me, you can never be lost

I as a Catholic, will pray that your soul will meet the Jesus you taught us about. That He will say to you, "Well done, my good and faithful servant.  

Your body is done, your mind is at rest, and your soul goes to the Best of the Best. You will meet your colleagues John Paul II and Benedict.

POPE FRANCIS:

POPE FRANCIS:  A 5-7-5 EULOGISTIC TRIO

A man of mercy,
Teaching peace, love, and mercy;
Leaving his spirit behind:-

Timing and ready,
Said goodbye the day before;
Reflecting God's peace and Love:-

A Pope to us all,
A true Catholic Christian:
A universal shepherd:-

FRANCIS OF GOD

FRANCIS OF GOD

Spiritual fruit of God,
Reflector of loving peace,
Pontiff of justice:-
Labors of love completed,
May his spirit remain here:-

Pope Francis

The sun is shining and glory be 
The birds are singing in the trees 
And a picture of paradise is the view of my peace
As I contemplate on the written word 
 Echoes of child play often heard 

Their joyful screams linger on the warm breeze
Playing happily on my street 
Like the scent of a rose 
A gentle thought
Sweet upon our Sacred Hearts

A walk with Our Lord Jesus Christ
Home beneath her blue skies 
The sun is shining his love for me 
Heaven upon our Earth
Sings the honey bee  ' I am.free '

Amen

hello I am Francis

the woman was in her sixties
she dressed out well over three hundred pounds
her walking is slow
her breathing is labored

I feel sorry for her
even though we have not met yet
she said “hello, I am Frances.”
I stared, wordless.

Her voice was a ...
tiny
itty
bitty
teensy
weensy
baby girl voice

How did that happen?

St Francis Hospital Tulsa Ok

St. Francis Hospital, Tulsa Ok.
New Years Day 2017
Miracle Man

A Divine intervention,
that day had taken place.
I’m writing this account,
only through God’s grace.

The Widow Maker and S.C.I.
had put me in that strait.
I was laying at death’s door,
in an unconscious state. 

During those comatose days,
I heard God’s Heavenly choir.
But then, I couldn’t fathom,
what would soon transpire.

You’re A medical miracle,
Doctors then proclaimed.
I was The Protected One,
then Miracle Man named.

Five songs played it once,
and I could name each one.
But these beautiful sounds,
weren’t meant for everyone.

For five days I heard songs,
from the tiles overhead.
Doctors later said to me, 
“Tom, you should be dead.”

A Father’s Day Tribute: To A Father Like My Own

Few words I pen, for today is your day,
A celebration of you, in every way.
Thrilled and happy, my heart does sing,
For your life has been a blessing in everything.

A father you are, steadfast and true,
A husband so loving, through and through.
A godly man, with wisdom to share,
A parent so devoted, beyond compare.

I remember your teachings, I follow them still,
Your words, like treasures, my heart they fill.
I love mothers, they have their own grace,
But today, dear father, you take the place.

Often mothers get the credit, it’s true,
But today I honor and celebrate you.
The care in your eyes, though not your child,
Touched my soul and made me smile.

Forever honored, forever blessed,
For the love you’ve shown, above all the rest.
Happy Father’s Day, with all my heart,
From your loving child, never apart.

Pope Francis remarks

Pope Francis gives Catholic priests permission to bless same sex couples, 18th Dec 2023 

When the words fell into he's ear
And he said it out in public
It was unclear if it was he who said it
Or there was something in him that did 

Cause he said very little
But it's caused lots of thought 
Lots of chat on where the church stands
And confusion of what this means going forth 

This are trying times for the church
We forget that he's human
He's subject to bias that might not really reflect,
the best interest of the church 

This shows he's also like any human 
So high up in his head that he forgets
That he can fall even when you high enough
I hope the church doesn't fall with him 

When the words fell into our ears
It felt like he was a puppet
Like he was acting in someone else's capacity
But whose best interest he served we might truly never know 

The PO£T

St Francis

Oh Saintly friend
I feel your pain
The world you left us, now
Racked and strained

As patron 
Of our Eden land
Destruction here
At human hand

So Francis,
From your lofty view
Come teach us, Spirit
Help us renew

This blue jeweled orb
That we call home
I fear we cannot
Do this alone

So perfectly
Your tender touch
Shaped lives, helped people
Created much

You gave away
Things you acquired
Opposite of where
Our hearts are mired

If there is hope
For nature's calm
We need the touch
Of Heaven's palm

So hear our prayers
As we pray yours
To open wide
Those pearly doors

Cascading colour
Once again
May selfish humans
From selves refrain

Sir Francis Drake

In 1588 Sir Francis Drake,
over a game of bowls, his time he did take.
Saying I’ll play my game before England’s fate.
So the Spanish will just have to wait!

There once was a young sailor named Drake,
who some thought was a bit of a flake.
On Plymouth Hoe he stood
while playing with his wood 
not knowing that history he'd make.

Drake was from the Elizabethan era
finishing his game as Spain drew nearer.
A stubborn man and quite contrary 
until he died of dysentery!
