Saint Joseph, Missouri

It is a strange and beautiful thing
To see lightning in the distance;
The approach of a distant storm
Across wide plains,
And to know the soul of the midwest.

Saint Joseph
A man
Protector of the Holy Family
Provider of Jesus' youth
Lost to history and lore
Saw the approach of a distant storm
Across wide plains
And still could not protect his son from
The lightening in the distance

Saint Joseph, Missouri
A place
Protection of a loving family
Where storms stay distant
Micro-bursts taunt the imagination in the
Power of nature
Young men could thrive here
Nurtured, loved, cherished
One with the soul of the midwest
Stay - Hopeful - Grow- Be home
