Mother Of The Home

Mother Of The Home

By Paul McCann

Mother of the home ,

be in the healing

for our loved ones unwell .

Mother of the home ,

be the truth behind

 all the stories we tell  .

Mother of the home ,

be the courage we need

in the things we fear    

Mother of the home ,

be in the smiles

we share for all who are here .

Mother of the home ,

be in the thoughts of how

we can help  each day .

Mother of the home ,

be in the welcome

of all who come to stay

Mother of the home ,

Be in the good times

and the laughter we share

Mother of the home ,

Be in the silence

 of peaceful moments there

 .

 Mother of the home ,

be in the hearts of those

who come through the door .

Mother of the home ,

be in the memories

of the years gone before .

Mother of the home ,

be in the hands at work

with kindness each day .

Mother of the home

be there with us all

when ever we  pray .

Mother Of The Vacant Heart

Mother Of The Vacant Heart

By Paul McCann

Mother of the vacant heart ,

I am a good man trying my best

working hard without rest .

Mother of the vacant heart,

I need a hand , more or less right away .

My life’s in a mess .

Mother of the vacant heart,

I’m contacting you for some assistance

and for empathy  .

Mother of the vacant heart,

So many things are happening now

that are troubling me .

Mother of the vacant heart

I have faith , I have hope .

But I feel lost and unloved sometimes .

Mother of the vacant heart ,

There are no personal favours  

to get me through the hard times .

Mother of the vacant heart

I ask , I seek , I pray,

but all I find are troubles today .

Mother of the vacant heart

I cannot fill the spaces

where everything’s taken away  .

 Mother of the vacant heart,

You have always been there ,  

with all of the hardships I have known .

Mother of the vacant heart

I grieve for the emptiness

and hope it will leave me alone .
