TO ST. AUGUSTINE / by Joe Castorino

You were the man

with the brilliant mind,

Yet our sweet Savior

you simply couldn’t find;

Intelligence and power

are what you admired,

Because that’s the way

your brain was wired;

So your mother introduced you

to bishop Ambrose the Wise,

And thus pride in your heart

very suddenly dies;

You were forever changed

when you encountered Love,

From then on your writings

spoke of the Way of the Dove.
