INTRODUCTION

Hi Everyone, Welcome to my site.


I am a writer of religious poetry. Very catholic and very traditional poetry. I have made a couple of attempts to have it published in book form but so far have been unsuccessful. I hope you like the poems that I put on this site. All of my poems express my relationship with God, our Heavenly Mother and the saints.

I have entitled my site RELIGION TO THE PEOPLE. The quote that communism used was 'power to the people'. Communism wanted to cut God out of society. That is the reason it failed. Without God nothing can exist. I wish God to have all the power. His holiness Pope Benedict XVI has stated. "For mankind to be great God must be great."

I am a great believer in the apparitions of Our Heavenly Mother at Fatima in 1917 and the triumph of Her Immaculate Heart leading to world peace.

Because of the importance I place on Mary, I have started my poems with one about Mary which I have called MY MOTHERS FACE.

MY MOTHER’S FACE
by
J. A. Fullerton

In a stable at Bethlehem I was born
With the breath of sheep and cattle to keep me warm
The first thing I felt was My mother’s embrace
Then I looked up and saw My mother’s face.

That gaze of love I knew throughout the years
In times of joy and in times of tears
I would run to her as a little boy
Then look at her face and see her joy.

When lost in the temple as child twelve years old
She looked at me and thought I was bold
I was about My Father’s business and no disgrace
But you don’t know how glad I was to see My mother’s face.

On the road to Calvary the crowd spat and jeered
I’d fall and they’d laugh, I thought how weird
It was a journey I could not have completed in any case
Without the courage I received from seeing My mother’s face.

Now I’m on the cross and My life complete
They have just hammered the last nail into My feet
I died on a cross and saved the human race
The last thing I saw were tears streaming down My mother’s face.
