Mother Of The Roses

Mother Of The  Roses  

 by Paul McCann 

Mother of the roses ,

you spoke at the miracle of Lourdes to the soul of Lisieux .

Mother of the roses , 

in magnificent colours and clusters they reach out to you .  

Mother of the roses

naturally wild and piled with thorns is how they have always grew .

Mother of the roses

In grottos and gardens their fragrance is ascending to you  .

Mother of the roses 

showers of flowers on altars 

are left every day for you .
