..for Roma Downey

A sweet and tender voice..with a clipped Irish Catholic accent

So pretty, so feminine, sweet and tender and so saintly

Aside from Olivia Newton-John (God rest her precious soul)

She too is a precious caring woman who prays,teaches and reaches out to the hurting and the lonely.

Watching "Touched By An Angel" weekly

Lifted up my spirits daily

I too am Catholic

I was punching a clock for a living for 34 years

And married to a cynical wife who left the faith as I weep my silent tears.

She also touches my heart ever so deeply

Even in reruns, her character Monica remains so profound

As I read her books "Be An Angel"

And "Unexpected Blessings."

Helps keep my struggling, hurting soul to stick around.

Thank you Roma (aka:Monica)

Please lift up my wife and three sons back to the faith and sacraments in your prayers

Before it is much too late!
