Mother
Of The Innocent
By
Paul McCann
.
Mother
of the innocent
you run
in the sun with
children
since time had begun ..
Mother
of the innocent
you skipped
and played
with
children in all the songs they sung .
Mother
of the innocent
as we knelt
and prayed we felt
that you
were always near .
Mother
of the innocent
you walked
with us through troubles
and
drove away the fear .
Mother
of the innocent
You watched
us play
in the childhood years we outgrew .
Mother
of the innocent
you were
in the laugher
of the
childhood days we knew .
Mother
of the innocent
we grew
up fast
and
left all our childhood days behind .
Mother of the innocent
Help us
in our old age
to be innocent
and kind .
