[bodytext] => Lifes most frightening experiences are the lessons learned in the most unusual ways. A boy from a poor family at a prestigious prep-school among the city’s wealthiest sons. All taught by a company of Jesuit priests. Under the tutorage of these giants of God, the affluent never recognized my poverty, and I was never made aware of their more fortunate circumstances. All friendships made, still last to this day. The Jesuit order is responsible for the simple pleasures with which life has blessed me. To me, they are in the image of God’s likeness.  God is a Jesuit . . . it’s as plain as can be No matter my plight, He is there for me. From the first day I became aware They have been within, and are always there. The Jesuits taught me how to pray . . . Before; during; and at the end of each day. The impossible task of temperament control had become for me the impossible goal but to them, just another stone in the road which they taught me to clear, to lighten my load. When life presented more than I could bear . . . my band of Jesuits were always there, assisting, advising, and asking of God that I be found worthy of His affirmative nod. They blessed my marriage, tracked my career, held my children . . . and have always been near. Their path is the path I have chosen to trod . . . My Jesuits match closely, my vision of God. Thus, I say from the heart; from what I can see . . . God must be a Jesuit – to a reasonable degree. John F. Templin © 05-20-05

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. ©
