Here's One Written This Century

[Br. Josef]

By Day Heroes....

Young boy white Knight,

Abused but for others;

The boy did fight.

Young boy silent priest,

Though his troubled sleep;

Kept his friends secret beasts.

Young boy hero ours,

With many private fears;

Helped friends conquer theirs.

By day heroes die,

And priests wrongly accused;

White suits stain easily.

Young Man means well,

Bled red to protect;

Land where you dwell.

Young man Brother confessor,

Accused wrong of much;

Forgives such of another.

Young man given much,

Himself had not;

That others had such.

By day heroes die,

And Priests stand accused;

White suits stain easily!

A true hero downed,

A target still himself;

Continues fighting for ground.

Many good priest rebound,

And acquit they themselves;

Once on holy ground.

By day heroes die,

And Priests stand accused;

White suits stain easily!

(Perhaps one should never wear white?)
