This is a poem that I am still working on. I would appreciate your feedback on it.

The word curé is French and is pronounced CuRay. It is important to say it this way or the poem will come out sounding wrong.
The word means parish priest. It is not the English word cure which means heal.

Saint Philomena and Saint John Vianney (poem)
In the small country village of Ars
a beautiful friendship did grow.
The curé called upon a saint
and miracles did flow.

Go to Saint Philomena,
the curé told those in need.
The little saint answered their prayers
with generosity and speed.

Favours and miracles
on Ars were showered
and the spiritual life
of the people flowered.

From Ars Saint Philomena
became known everywhere.
Saint Philomena brings hope
to those in despair.

Lovely little Poem Mary Ann.
There are many St. Philomena devotee's here in the forum and no doubt you too have been touched by this little saint.

Good to hear from you.
I'm sure St Philomena likes your poem too.  angel bell
