I dont know if I posted this before on this site. I offer it now.
Lament for the Faith of Our Fathers
Where now the Faith of our Fathers? Where is the bell that was tolling?
Where is the Mass of All Ages, and Our Lord's Grace flowing?
Where is the Host raised to Heaven, and the Real Presence glowing?
Where is goodwill among Christians, and the true Faith growing?
Have they passed like dreams upon waking, like the wind through the willows?
A darkness has covered the West; our folk lie under the Shadow.
Who shall practice the Faith of the Martyrs' burning,
Or behold the Peace of God from the Christ returning? [/i]

I noticed the Tolkien. :wink:
Keep at it. Things like poetry and the other arts are culture we can't afford to loose. Somebody has got to try and keep them alive in the age of "anything goes" garbage.
