When I was a child in elementary school at St. Mary's Star of The Sea, the Nuns taught us to put the capital initials J M J at the top center of every page that we wrote.
It was a constant repetitious reminder of The Holy Family ... Jesus Mary Joseph.
I never forgot it. In essence, is it not what Life ia all about? FAMILY & LOVE ...

Jesus: God became man so he could be close to us and tell us His plan. Man: Some cannot believe how much God loves us so many turn away and become blind. God's plan: To forgive us and give us eternal life with Him that is wonderful, gracious and kind. Thank you for your wonderful poems Tom and have a Merry time celebrating CHRIST birthday for the Lord is with us. Amen!

Wonderful Tribute to Joseph - Who Truly Doesn't Get Much Credit or Mention This Time of Year. And those Nuns were something else - I still remember mine from grade school.
As for your pic, those adorable dogs surely don't have fleas - but if they do, they are Blessed Fleas!
As far as what little I know of the Roman Catholic Church, it seems like the Virgin Mary gets all the credit… Even more than Jesus. Like the others have said, it's about time that gentle Joseph gets a little credit and you've done that for him.

A most apt and timely poem, Tom; nicely done. Coincidentally, I shared a version of the song, "Mary Did You Know" a few days ago. I cannot recall if I sent it to you. Love and peace to you,
