The Seasons: A Poem

Posted by on
Sunrise over Amazing Grasses Family Farm The mad Artist wields His brush, Painted colors rush, To life and give flush, Before the quiet autumn hush. The life seems to pour, As colors fall to the floor, To be seen no more, Outside the dark, grey door. Brightness from below, Sun upon the snow, High, cold clouds blow, Flakes and ice appear to grow. The man melts with little seen, Underneath, pale, grey green, Hides life in dark unseen, Waits for warmth and to careen. Buds on branches show, Patience starts to grow, Trickles, streams and veins flow, Bringing fruits of melted snow. Sprung to life it springs, Bees, birds, sound rings, Lush green flings, Its gift bounty brings. Green growth gives one last rush, Underneath the Painter's brush. The mad Artist wields His brush, before the quiet autumn hush. More poetry is available from James M. Hahn in  The Last Dragon and Other Poems  available now.

I forgot to say why I think our school is the best! We are a school built on love! Love of God, Love of Christ, Love of His Church, Love of each other.

Pope John Paul II Catholic School in NE Minneapolis is the best because it catechizes the students in the fullness the faith well with weekly Mass plus individual monthly Mass for each class, weekly Rosary, multi-age classes (students attend the level of education they are ready for in each subject), they have many students from immigrant families and offer a diverse environment built upon respect, and teach their students responsibility and how to give back to the community.
Students who would get 'lost in the cracks' at bigger schools do well here and are well prepared for high school.

As a parent of a student from Garces Memorial Hg School in Bakersfield, California let me comment. In todays economy to put your child in private education is a sacrafice, to have your child attend Garces Memorial High School in Bakersfield is a blessing. We are blessed to have a school that holds on to creed's of Integrity, Courage of Faith, Respect and Compassion. This Catholic Hg school prepares college ready students of the highest degree. I am so thankful that my daughter has been a part of this 65 year old tradition of Catholic Education.

I think our Pre-School PSR Program at St. Michael's in Worthington is the best as it is one of the only pre-school programs in the Columbus area. We teach children from age 3 yrs to Kindergarten basics about God, Jesus, the Bible, the Rosary, and the parts of the Mass. We even have music twice a month and sing all the Bible songs we all grew up singing. Thanks and good luck to all! Debbie Joyce
