Mother Of Cleansing
By Paul McCann
Mother of cleansing
help us to wash
the black marks from our face
of tears we have cried
in years of disgrace .
Mother of cleansing
here in the rooms where
memories are kept ,
remove unwanted
dust that’s been unswept .
Mother of cleansing
like a white tornado
in every room
remove the dirt
with a heavenly new broom .
Mother of cleansing .
Throw out the rubbish
from this little home ,
all the baggage
that we really don’t own .
Mother of cleansing
wipe the stains of guilt
that
remain unseen .
The footprints on floors
that we should have cleaned .
Mother of cleansing .
Kill the mould left by cold
words some have said
that lie like monsters
underneath the bed .
Mother of cleansing
Make our lives and homes
a place to be proud ,
where love’s the only company allowed .
.
