Memories Resurrected to Hope

SJST
The town felt new, the land like ancient myth
Harsh landscape formed in beauty strong, forlorn
A sky so blue with silent voice obscure
The innocence of youth in riddles worn
As kids we laughed as fairies dancing do
The thrill of running, playing, over years
A time so charming, yet so simple in face
I think we all expressed it, parting in tears
My days now fade down misty trail ways past
Now countless miles away from home and hearth
Though seeking gold, yet finding nothing like
That time, those friends, adored with thankful heart
With laughter and tears, I ponder time now aged
As life like breeze now flows to heaven’s rest
In hope I pray to play once more with friends
Where joy is endless, filling fountains blessed

About S.T. Martin

I am a Catholic writer and poet who holds an A.B. in Economics from Princeton University and Master's Degree in Public and Private Management from Yale University. Politically, I support a Catholic Monarchy as being the highest form of civil government, whereby the Monarch is non-ecclesial yet nevertheless serves as the right arm of the Church. A former Methodist who was also familiar with Evangelical communities as a youth, I joined the Catholic Church on Easter of 1985. The grace of my conversion came about on October 1, 1984 through the Virgin Mary and the intercession of St. Thérèse of Lisieux on her Feast Day. Years later my life was saved through the Virgin Mary and the intercession of St. Joan of Arc on July 17, 2006, the day we celebrate Joan's victorious entry into Rheims. I now dedicate my life and writings in honor of my "saintly sisters," the Virgin Mary, and our mighty Lord in His radiant Divine Mercy. "To Jesus through Mary in the friendship and sisterly care of Sts. Joan and Thérèse!"
