In realms of thought, where wisdom reigns,
St. Thomas Aquinas, a light remains.
A scholar and saint, of towering mind,
His teachings profound, forever enshrined.

Born in Italy, in the thirteenth century’s glow,
A brilliant star destined to endlessly grow.
A seeker of truth, with a fervent desire,
To unveil the mysteries, to reach higher.

With pen and parchment, his journey began,
To harmonize faith and reason, God’s grand plan.
Through scholastic brilliance, he sought to unite,
Philosophy and theology, in profound insight.

In the halls of Paris, where knowledge thrived,
Aquinas delved deep, his intellect derived.
The Summa Theologica, his magnum opus so vast,
A synthesis of wisdom that forever will last.

He pondered on God, on existence profound,
Five ways he articulated, where proof could be found.
From motion to causality, and design in all things,
Aquinas’ arguments, like angelic wings.

Yet his mind was not limited to matters divine,
He explored ethics, virtue, how to align.
With the teachings of Christ, a moral framework,
To guide our actions, our souls to redeem.

But it was not mere intellect that defined his soul,
For deep within, a heart of faith did he hold.
His profound devotion, a flame brightly burned,
A saintly love for God, in his heart discerned.

With humility and piety, he lived every day,
A man of prayer, seeking God’s sacred way.
In contemplation and solitude, he found solace,
Communing with the Divine, in a sacred embrace.

St. Thomas Aquinas, a beacon of light,
An exemplar of reason, faith shining bright.
His legacy endures, his wisdom sublime,
Guiding seekers of truth through the sands of time.

So let us heed his teachings, his profound voice,
Embrace the harmony of faith and reason, our choice.
For in the pursuit of knowledge, let us ever strive,
To honor St. Thomas Aquinas, and keep his spirit alive.
