Writing: An Ode To Saint Joseph

An ode to Saint Joseph

O’dearest Saint Joseph,

Your smile lights up like a shooting star,

Your eyes twinkle in the night sky like an everlasting candle,

The way you talk is like music in my ears,

The way you inspired others inspired me more

Born in 90 BC, Bethlehem

Was the husband of Mary and father of Jesus

Worked as a carpenter

Was the only child

Died on July 20th AD in Nazareth,Israel

Feast day is on 19 March

O’Saint Joseph, What was it like becoming a Saint?

What did you have to do to become a saint?

Did you ever imagine that you would become a saint?

Who was your inspiration and role model?

You were a loving father and husband

Your inspiration towards others is a lesson to us all

You truly made the world a better place
