Mother Of The Void

Mother Of The Void

By Paul McCann

Mother of the void there is a dark cloud

That comes now and then in the hearts of men .

Mother of the void we cry out aloud

and in silent tears for years and for years .

Mother of the void in a silent shroud

We find a heart space where we see your face .

Mother of the void somewhere in the crowd

You hear those who call and answer them all .

Mother Of Emotions

Mother Of Emotions

By Paul McCann

Mother of emotions you can understand

and guide those within the depths of depression .  

Mother of emotions in the depth of your heart

Your love reaches out to all of your children . 

Mother of emotions somewhere between

sadness and elation there is a level of peace   

Mother of emotions with all the highs and the lows , 
of whatever happens you bring a relief .

Mother of emotions inside the troubled mind you can find

the face behind the dark disguise . 

Mother of emotions in the gloom and the doom  

You bring hope for the heart and light for our eyes .

Mother of emotions you ignore the tantrums and things

We your children constantly demand . 

Mother of emotions when we are tossed by anger

you always have a ear to understand . 

Mother of emotions when we get upset or frustrated

you place your mantle over us  .

Mother of emotions people can disappoint and betray us

but you we can always trust .   

Mother Of The Rain

Mother Of The Rain

By Paul McCann

Mother of the rain the blue sky split in two

and suddenly it came , in a rainbow hue .

Mother of the rain there was no where to hide

and the flowers began to dance where they’d died .

Mother of the rain the drought stopped suddenly

and the effect of the rain was clear  to see .

Mother of the rain waterfalls fell again into pools

where ripples of sunlight became

reflections of heaven that had long gone dry

but the drought was broken

by rain from the sky .

Mother Of The Road

Mother Of The Road

Mother Of The Road
By Paul McCann


Mother of the road 
I walked for miles in the rain , 
the sun would not shine 
and I had things on my mind , 
like a pilgrim on the road 
looking for answers I’d had enough of the users 
and the chancers , 
I didn’t know where else to go 
or what to do 
then I had a vision of you 
dressed up in blue . 


Mother of the road 
I know I’ll always have you 
to show me the way 
and instruct me what to do . 
I have been many years 
on this journey through life 
and I’ve been an innocent victim 
more than twice , 
by those who I loved most 
and I don’t understand 
but I’m walking on 
and I know you have my hand . 

Mother of the road 
every day and every night, 
the way is hard 
and the end is never in sight . 
At every bend and every twist 
I know you’re there 
Mother of the road 
I ask you to hear my prayer 
for love is the reason 
that I have met you here . 
Heal the hurt I have 
and take away all my fear . 

Mother of the road 
straight and narrow is the way that takes me to heaven 
at the end of the day . I have a vision 
and that I will hold on to until I am home at last 
in heaven with you where the cares and worries 
of this world are no more in a forever 
where I won’t hurt anymore . 

Mother of the road 
I will always walk with you and talk with you 
for you are all that is true but each day there is no 
tomorrow just today , 
and I don’t know what I’d do 
if you went away so stay here by my side 
until the end of time and bring me hope in each step 
and real peace of mind . 


Mother of the road 
I walk upwards and onwards with no sign there to show me 
which way is towards heaven but with faith as my guide 
I see it in my eye 
and I think of a place 
where we will never die 
and I will be there with you 
when this life is through , 
dear Mother of the road 
I will always love you .
