Lost was the shepherd of the church
To guide and shelter the flock,
But a messenger came from God to serve,
With a faith that naught could block.
Through times of turmoil, scenes of stress,
This guiding beacon was there.
Brightly lighting the church's path
With the power of love and care.
Sincere were the eulogies that he spoke,
Thought-provoking the sermons he preached
Like a magnet his quiet manner would draw,
Inspiring all those whom he reached.
Who is this gentle man of God?
This shepherd of whom we speak?
This priest the parish has grown to love
Is Known as Father Keith.
