Mother Of Open Spaces

 Mother Of Open Spaces 

By Paul McCann

Mother of open spaces 

comfort me in knowing

you’re there as I sit silently

and pray to you .

Mother of open spaces 

wherever I go I know you are 

there in my thoughts 

that are coming through . 

Mother of open spaces 

I feel you belong to the 

natural pathways of 

the rivers that  flow .

Mother of open spaces 

you are there in beauty of the gardens of the wild flowers 

that grow .

Mother of open spaces 

I hear peaceful sounds 

and feel your gentle 

presence  to which I can relate .

Mother of open spaces 

you are there as I  breathe 

in the fresh air of this 

welcome mountain landscape .

Mother of open spaces 

if  I walk up the mountains ,
or down through the glen 

I feel closer to you .

Mother of open spaces 

as butterflies flutter past 

I hear birds singing songs 

that I never knew .

Mother of open spaces 

I see a rainbow in the sky and 

remember the promise made to me .

Mother of open spaces 
spiritually out there 

life speaks to me  

in everything  that I see .

Mother of open spaces 

I stop for a while 

to appreciate the wonder 

of it all the same .

Mother of open spaces 

Thank you for being there ,

with me in my prayer 

and I’m so glad that you came .

Mother Of Winter

 

Mother Of Winter  

By Paul McCann

 

 

Mother of winter

shelter us all from hunger and cold ,

into your loving arms we enfold  

as the night falls and our hands are froze ,

out on the streets as the wild wind blows

 Mother of winter

we all need shelter sometimes you see

it could even be some poor family ,

who have fallen on hard times out there

any one of us could  need shelter.

 

 

Mother of winter

shelter us from the rain and the snow ,

shelter us from pain that we know .

shelter us from danger on the street ,

shelter us when we’ve nothing to eat .

 

 

Mother of winter

when everything is going wild   

bring us the warmth of a friendly smile  

into our minds bring us peace and love

and a miracle from God above    .

Mother Of Gentleness

 

Mother Of Gentleness

By Paul McCann

Mother Of Gentleness

there is no other that I can turn to

for help , there’s only you

and no other could do

all he miraculous things you do .

 

Mother Of Gentleness

  show me how to find a way somehow ,

to change the minds of all those

who won’t accept the truth

and open the eyes of those who are closed .

Mother Of Gentleness

give me prudence in my thoughts ,

so innocence will not be lost

because love has redeemed

all of the debt and paid the ultimate cost

Mother Of Gentleness

when trouble comes

there is no other but you

that I can turn to

only you and no other could

ever do all the things you do .

 

Mother Of Gentleness

my head is humbly bowed ,

but see how how loud and angry are

the proud ,

they are a boisterous noise within clouds

where raini is s not allowed .

Mother Of Gentleness

upon the ground

may your gentleness be found

in the maddening crowd ,

and may love fall like rain

to cleanse the hearts of the might y and proud

Mother Of The Snow

Mother Of The Snow

by Paul McCann

Mother of the snow 

how beautiful is the grace 

that fell like drops of heaven 

upon a snowy place

where a miracle appeared on a hill  .

Mother of the snow 

how beautiful is the purity 

of your face that looks down 

from heaven upon all those

who trust and remain faithful still .

Lady Of The Sidewalks

Lady Of The Sidewalks 

By Paul McCann

 

Lady of the sidewalks

help those lonely people 

who try to hide 

be like the shadow

standing at their side , 

when the  dark clouds 

gather then they will know 

the comforting grace 

there in your shadow .

Lady of the sidewalks

you are always there 

in the bright sunlight   ,

with the blue mantle 

of the sky in sight ,

somewhere beyond this 

world there you depart 

to the  sidewalks of the soul 

in our heart .

Lady of the sidewalks

you see the homeless 

with no food to eat ,

bring hope to them 

on the sidewalks of the street  .

Lady of the sidewalks

it’s cold and dark 

when no one seems to care ,

but you are the  answer 

to every prayer .

Mother Of Visions

 

Mother Of Visions

By Paul McCann

 

Mother of visions,

you come into view

to show us a glimpse of mystery

 

Mother of visions,

You bring miracles and wonders

So all the blind can see,

 

Mother of visions,

There can be no doubt

only truth in the visions you bring .

 

Mother of visions,

In this life we come and go

but you are everlasting.

.

  

Mother Of All Time

Mother Of All Time
By Paul McCann

Mother of all time I see
someone like you there for me .
Mother of heaven and earth
Mother of gentle rebirth
Mother of all to behold
Mother of the young and old .

Mother of all time you are
always near and never so far .
Mother universally .
Mother for us all to see .
Mother of experience .
Mother of our innocence .

Mother of all time you wait
there outside the pearly gate .
Mother of things that have been .
Mother of times no one’s seen .
Mother of inspiration .
Mother of observation .

Mother of all time for us
the pillar of strength we trust .
Mother of nativity .
Mother of stability .
Mother of generations .

Mother of revelations .
