Liza, this is a very wonderful poem of friendship and the sympathy for another person's feelings that is is overwhelmingly altruistic. And I am overwhelmed by your tender regard for my well-being in summoning the help of St. Patrick. You appeal to him to shower me with spiritual gifts of Light and Truth, and even tell him why his help is needed. PRAY FOR DANIEL AND RETURN HIM LIGHT...ANSWER ALL HIS WHY'S AND MAKE HIM TRUE. That's compressed version of your altruism. St. Patrick, being a helper himself, must be happy with your request and will honor it out of respect for your faith. He thoroughly understands your heart. The middle part of your poem laments today's less than holy attitudes and moral failures, but you are displaying just the opposite moral attitude and saints observe these things closely, don't they? You are the go-between for me at the threshold of the World and Eternity, humanity and divinity, earth and heaven. No one has given me such a precious gift before. No one, only you.
Suffering is so sad. Praying for persons who suffer is kindness. Friendship and sympathy comes side by side in duty of humanity in this wonderful and beautifully composed poem. Saint Patrick, our common saint, he turned thousands to Christ. Saint is above the world. Eternity is felt well by saint. Divinity remains in memory. Wonderful and nicely penned tribute poem is shared...10
