level 4 happiness

nobody gets her but

Father Robert Spitzer

Jesuits possess some-

thing higher than Wisdom

salt and pepper pooch 

brown cassock never crass 

that's one hot Schnauzer 

living in a monastery

One among many 

Franciscan friars 

jumping into the foray 

speaking to Shubunkin 

pond dwellers as only 

a canine can do

on two hind legs

to pumpkin heads and

immortal souls longing

like a man eating 

a cinnamon bun 

level one

Kilmer, Hopkins, and 

Sassoon, laid the groundwork 

through and through, they knew 

what to do (too high for me they flew)

flying to the moon

level two

compassionate love 

marital commitment

dates one woman for life

serving plates at Saint 

Vincent de Paul's shelter

level three

empathy for others 

perfect truth love justice

goodness beauty home a

loving God pursuing

beatific vision

level four

after that what's more? 

from the pen of David 

Bentley Hart words flow from 

the flowing stream the hart 

drinks from the Heart blood and 

water flow and flower 

hey wonderworker and 

a saint they are people 

too nuns priests brothers monks

TV evangelizers

the pope doesn't fly with 

angelic wings during 

the night after all
