| Dearest Mother.
How beautiful you are in your beauty,
God’s endless blessing
Like the mother earth,
To help life begin, reside.
Within your gentle womb.
and slowly hide.
Only to flower in the spring,
and sing and sing and sing.
How gracious must you be.
To love and hold a little helpless creature
that once was me.
Enchanting!
You will hold back the tears,
the hunger for shelter,
and hold thy baby dear,
despite it all.
gently rocking her child.
Defending the life she bore.
Strong, Serene…
A Queen.
Blessed art thou today, and will always be.
The queen of my creation.
The pillar of resounding hope, and salvation.
For life and love, in the mighty world does rest,
within your womb and breast.
I am grateful to you, oh mother
dear one
loved one
my shelter.
My hope
my light
May God in his mercy give you peace and rest
As you let life lie, rocked against they gentle breast,
and as each dawn did wake and see
May the peace and joy of love be with you
Now, and through all eternity.
Amen. |
