His Utopia DreamBarefoot walkingon newly conquered territory under muse of St. Francis of Assisi poetic arms held high unto heaven's sun and moon seeking guidance from within onward Jesuits walking forward as neophytes joined for the kingdom for the kingdom is not food or drink but righteousness peace and joy within walking forward rolling back frontier converting natives building missions to incorporate all people unto the heavens they grew this land and in truth the land prospered from a handful to many thousand cultivating farm workers from down under California Guaycuras south and Cochimies north of Loreto joined looked up to a short man strong in spirit weak in pride walking forward with strong hands and heart of Father Serra brought to life His utopia dream. -Robert E. Michaud Jr.- |

Bob; Magnificently said! Lord give us lofty dreams and Your Grace to realize them! A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails. |

This is not only a beautifully expressed poem, but it tells the story of so many good christians, taking the word of God to others.Thanks for sharing. A quarter of a century must pass, for the writer to understand what and why he writes. |
