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 .
