Father Rich

He is Lupe’s Brother;
My Sister-in-Law’s Brother,
So, Rich has always been like family to me,
His dear Mom used to baby sit our Son,
Where much love flowed in their home.

In the journey God gave me, many years ago,
I recall Rich, as a little kid,
Remembering his dear Mom would talk and talk, wouldn’t let us leave,
So Rich had a code word for hunger, so we could go,
Kept saying, Buenos Dias, again and again,
Pretty cool even back then.

Fast-forward 30-40 years,
A Catholic Priest is his God-given road,
To care for all of God’s children,
Rich has given back much more of his life,
To guide us on our journey in which we go,
Down life’s righteous path, so to see God one day, don’t you know.
