THE  PRIEST 

Me, but not since 
March, but really  
not since my heart operation,  
but I gave them my best  
for 55  years – but trying 
not to be self-centered 
the “them’s” in my life, 
they gave me their best too. 
So I say, “Thank you!” 
to all of you.

and gloves to boot.

  1. Oh, Father Andy ,

    Your priesthood touched so many people and we are forever grateful .

    Thank you for the lovely thoughts on fathers .

    I always like to think on Father;s Day that priests should be thanked . Priests guide and care for us like a dad .

    Stay well and pray for us .
