Father Judge, S. F.

Title:     Father Judge, S. F.
Author: Howard V. Sutherland [More Titles by Sutherland]

Here was a man, a humble minister
Beloved of all in northern latitudes
Who knew the value of the kingly heart
That beat beneath his worn and priestly coat.

A soldier he, who ne'er forsook his post;
Whose actions were more numerous than words;
His soul was God's; his heart and body man's--
Nothing his own except our gratitude.

Worn e'er his time by hardship none may know
Who shirked the bitter schooling of the North,
He passed away, and now forever stands
As close to God as gentle Damien.

[The end]
Howard V. Sutherland's poem: Father Judge, S. F.
