Mother Of Memories

 

 

 

 

Mother Of Memories

by Paul McCann


Mother of memories

you are always there,

like a prayer from the heart .

 

Mother of memories

you’ll always be the place

where memories start .

 

Mother of memories

in my life you were there

when I needed you .

 

Mother of memories

you made hard times easy,

for me to get through .

 

Mother of memories

you gave love and friendship

when I was alone .

 

Mother of memories

you’re always present

in my heart and my home .

 

Mother of memories

you always set my mind at peace

with a smile .

 

Mother of memories

you walked along with me

for many’s a mile .

 

Mother of memories

you cared and you shared

so many things with me .

 

Mother of memories

when I was in darkness

you helped me to see .

 

Mother of memories

you were there in my childhood

when I was young .

 

Mother of memories

you’re were there

in many of the songs I sung .

 

Mother of memories you were there

in all of the prayers that I said .

 

Mother of memories

you’ll be there for me

in the future ahead .

Mother Of The Ocean

 

Mother Of The Ocean

By Paul McCann

 

Mother of the ocean

how near and how far you are

out there somewhere

in and open place where the horizon

touches the sky and your presence lies

over the ocean.

 

Mother of the ocean

My thoughts drift to you

like boat floating away

beyond where the waves break

in the sunshine where my troubles are left behind

over the ocean

 

 Mother of the ocean

I reflect as the stillness of the night

falls down softly over the shimmering seascape

of light from the moon and the stars

over the ocean

 

 Mother of the ocean

beyond the earth , there’s a  universe ,

with a cosmos of endless time ,

and we’re drifting away forever

in space and time  ,

over the ocean.

Mother Of Care

 

Mother Of Care

By Paul McCann

 

Mother of care

thank you for being there

when there was nobody who reached out and gave  .

 

Mother of care

It was you shone the light

That helped me make my way out from the cave .

 

Mother of care

you helped me stand

when I was too weak to confront those who held me down .

 

Mother of care

when the world turned against me

you came into my life and hope was found .

 

Mother of care

you lifted me from despair

and gave me a reason to try again .

 

Mother of care

When I was at my worst you gave me your best

and I’m so glad you came..

Mother Of The Guiding Light .

 

Mother Of The Guiding Light  .

By Paul McCann

 

Mother of the guiding light

take us home to the place that we belong.

Guide us with a light that is shining strong .

 

 

Mother of the guiding light

Shine your light until the darkness is gone.

And give us the strength to keep moving on .

 

Mother of the guiding light

There is a light that’s always flickering

That tells us never  give up , don’t give in

 

Mother of the guiding light

It’s not easy but we’ll get there someday

tomorrows  out of sight , show us the way .

 

Mother of the guiding light

May your for us keep on shining on

So we can get back to where we belong ..

Mother of refuge

in turmoil and trouble

your welcome is ever near .

 

Mother of refuge

You always take my worries

and make them disappear

 

Mother of refuge

of screaming in my ear .

 

Mother of refuge

I seek shelter in your presence

with the things I fear.

 

Mother of refuge

there’s a place in your heart

for those who are seeking peace .

 

Mother of refuge

in isolated moments ,

your love gives me release

 

Mother of refuge

in this world your peace and love

rules over one and all .

 

Mother of refuge

I know you are always there

to help me when I call .

Mother Of Life

 

 

 Mother Of Life  

by Paul McCann

Mother of life

you have always been there ,

like a tree bearing good fruit in all that I do .

 

Mother of life

your love is the fruit  and in the depths  of my soul 
it’s as sweet as can be .

 

Mother of life

harvest time’s coming , the sun’s shinning

and there is something special to share .

 

Mother of life

in visions and in dreams 
I have seen a place

where we shall live forever .

 

Mother of life

your grace brought life and light into the world ,

so that we would all know the way .

 

Mother of life

the fruit of our words and our actions

will  be seen  when God will have His day .

in a culture they have never seen before .
