A Poem for Philoptochos
Philoptochos
Dedicated to all the invaluable Ladies of the Philoptochos
Written by Mr. Dimitrios Trigonis
Translated by Christopher Tripoulas
You are:
An aid to sojourners
and the treasure of the suffering,
the gold of those who are ill
and the silver of he poor!
Timelessly running,
You bring tranquility!
You are a shelter for the homeless
the solicitude of the needy,
you do everything possible to grant them sustenance!
You are the food of the hungry
and a refuge for orphans,
you are a ray of light and a moon
shining upon those less fortunate!
An everyone always looks
with hope to you,
to find a little warmth
amidst this cold life!
And you, like a loving mother,
give off the warmth of the sun!
An intercessor to Panagia!
A proud sight for Christ!
Compassionate, Beauticious Lady!
The named you..."Philoptochos"
With a heart of gold,
because you always give so much!
And all your golden Ladies
Who represent you
are like the stars of the sky!
That always shines so brightly!
