To Jim 3 Poem by Michael J ORourke2

I can only imagine the dawn after that horrific night

When you discovered the truth with feverish fright

That you would not walk - such dark and incomprehensible days!

Trying to discern the mysterious ways-

Of God and his will for you

Perhaps a special calling hidden from your view.

Unbelievable! A medical profession you would fashion

With dedicated zeal and unbridled passion

And now, here at Lourdes You point to God's glory

As a fitting end to your miraculous story

With your Faith and Trust in God intact

Always affirming your sacred pact

Your aura shines like the brilliant sun.

Your dignity and sanctity- a model for everyone.

While your faith and belief bring us such awe

As we struggle to find His mysterious call.
