[hometext] => St.Mary Magdalen, patron Saint of my Mother who was very proud of her name and being a name sake, is also one of my favorite Saints.
[bodytext] =>
July the twenty second is The Feast of Mary Magdalene Whose loving eyes were verdi-gris Her body smelled of Jessamine Called “Sinner” - yet in spite of it She ranked among Apostles high Amongst them all the “Favorite” Who with the Lord saw eye-to-eye I kiss her picture- grasp my pen To sing of outcasts of her sort The pariah, the Sinner Magdalene, So highly favored of the Lord. Faithful and loyal to the end She stayed with Him upon her knee When the disciples’ coward band Ran, when He hung upon the tree The first the Risen Christ to see Appearance with no one to share For all her love and loyalty For at His passion she was there. On her the Lord made the bequest- Not to disciples’ fickle crew, To preach and counsel to the rest Of followers, - Gentile or Jew. Ere Paul appeared yet on the scene And the apostles found their wit, There was Apostle Magdalene Illuminating dull esprits. Disciples pusillanimous, Who’d left the master in the lurch,- She counseled them as prophetess Ere yet established was the church. Pray for us Mary Magdalene! Apostle to Apostles fair, Our Preachers‘ merits are so lean, Please take us in your care.!

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
