Mother Of Privacy

Mother Of Privacy

By Paul McCann

Mother of privacy 

sometimes there is a need to retreat 

away to  a private space .

Mother of privacy 

protect the dignity of those 

who have been subject to disgrace .

Mother of privacy 

restore respect in those

who have been robbed of their self confidence .

Mother of privacy 

Keep safe the trust between people

in order to prevent offence .

Mother of privacy

stop the hurtful words

so often said in jest 

time and time again .

Mother of privacy

grant us the time we need to reflect 

so we can heal from the pain .
