Mother Of The Poor

Mother Of The Poor



Mother Of The Poor
By Paul McCann

Mother of the poor ensure your assistance to all those
who must beg and borrow or go without .

Mother of the poor look favourably on all the homeless,
Who sleep in the cold and get knocked about . 

Mother of the poor help all those who are dressed in rags
and find for them somewhere fine garments to wear    .

Mother of the poor as the hungry endure to live each day ,
give them comfort in knowing you care  .

Mother Of Understanding


Mother Of Understanding
By Paul McCann

Mother of understanding I would gladly give ,
Each hour of each day and every moment I live
Because you have shown me by your heavenly power
an understanding of just who you really are   .


Mother of understanding you hear what I say
and when I pray to you I know you’ll find a way
to answer me and to tell me that you’re always there
 because you understand everything and you care  .


Mother of understanding some have done me wrong
and have harmed me and made me feel I don’t belong
because they don’t understand me and what I say .
I’m so blessed to know you’re there Mother , every day .  


Mother of understanding and powerful too
How encouraging to know you know what is true   .
You see what is right and you will try for my sake
to bring justice and take away all the heart ache     .


Mother of understanding everything I do
my whole life through is to honour and to praise you ,
Thank you for understanding me when no one can 
listen or support me or try to lend a hand .

Mother Of Mothers


Mother Of Mothers   
By Paul McCann

Mother of Mothers all over the earth
in the miraculous moment of birth ,
be there to reveal who you really are near
as we kneel before your heavenly power    .


Mother of Mothers we look up to you
and ask your protection on all those who
are united by the family ties
witnessed and sealed before your very eyes  .

Mother of Mothers each child is a gift , 
what a wonder as we reach out to lift ,
into our arms and then into our heart
the innocence of new life from the start .

Mother of Mothers in all the proceeds
of the bonding times between the night feeds ,
make it a time to share a prayer with you
and may that continue our whole life through      .
