HEART AND SOUL       (mom and UNCLE JOHN)

 

 

In my mind

The HEART and SOUL of our family

Was my mother and Uncle John

When I think of each of them

I think of L-O-V-E

 

Where my father was the fun

My mother was the heart of the immediate family

And until about 1990

Most of the holidays were at our house

Particularly Christmas

 

After that-they moved to Uncle John’s

I can’t remember

How many picnics

How many Thanksgivings

And how many Christmas’

We spent at Uncle John’s and Aunt Karen’s

 

To me

My mom and Uncle John

WILL ALWAYS BE

THE HEART AND SOUL

OF THE FAMILY

 

Respectfully,

Ps       Today is the feast of  Saint Luke

           A physician-a gentile- and the third writer

           Of the Gospel and the Book of Acts

 

 

          Saint Luke is the patron of doctors-surgeons and artists

         

          At a time in the world

          Where there is so much sickness

          And where there are so many medical mistakes

          We pray to saint Luke for guidance

 

           And we pray for

           Where there are mistakes

           A just and fair compensation system for all
