Mother Of Support

Mother Of  Support 

By Paul McCann

 

Mother of support 

help  me to be confident 

when I’m feeling insecure 

so when decisions must be made 

I’ll know that I am sure .

 

Mother of support 

when I’m  lost for words 

inspire me to speak elegantly. 

With the support you give me  

I know they’ll have to agree .

 

Mother of support

when  I need to stand alone 

as I often have to do 

that is when you’re always there 

in the things I’m going through .

 

Mother of support 

thank you for everything 

you bring that make the wrongs all right .

You walk with me in the 

mystery that’s hidden out of sight

Mother Of Cleansing

 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 .

Mother Of Honesty

 Mother Of Honesty

by Paul McCann

 

Mother of honesty

there are people who are witness to honesty

 in the things they do .

Give them the ability to bring change in the world

by their point of view .

Mother of honesty

there’s a richness about people in poverty

 that is honest and true .

May they remind us of the values we set

 in this life we’re going through .

Mother Of Insults

Mother Of Insults

by Paul McCann

 

Mother of insults

deflect the words that are sent 

like daggers into the heart .

Restore the peace of mind

that insults tried to rip apart .

 

Mother of insults

 turn our thoughts away from the angry words

that were spoken

and repair the  damage to good hearts  

that have been  broken.

 

Mother of insults

don’t let us be affected by those

who are insulting

and allow healing to bring

an on going  consulting .

 

Mother of insults

 grant us the strength to overcome

the terrible things said

and may we always find words of kindness

and love instead .

Mother Of Dreams

 

 Mother Of Dreams

By Paul McCann


Mother of dreams

some hear music which

is a gift and is their life’s calling .

 

Mother of dreams

some can see the colour

in the raindrops that are falling .


Mother of dreams

Some would try to steal the gifts

that others have been given .


Mother of dreams

and interfere with the way of life

that they are living .


Mother of dreams

encourage all the dreamers

who hear music in their head .


Mother of dreams

walk beside them on the

hard road where angels

fear to tread .


Mother of dreams

protect their inspirations

from being lost and destroyed.


Mother of dreams

protect the gifts of others

and the life that they’ve enjoyed .

Mother Of New Life

Mother Of New Life

By Paul McCann

 

Mother of new life

your know the pain and the pleasure

a mother has to endure to bring

new life into the world

may your comfort and joy

surround every mother

on the arrival of every boy and girl .

 

Mother of new life

strengthen and support mothers

as they come to terms with all of the

new changes in their lifestyle .

be there in the confinement

and in the nourishing

and in everything that makes life worthwhile .

 

Mother of new life

You are aware of the sleepless nights

and the concerns every new Mother has to face

each day , remind them ‘of who you are

and through your grace

may they find time , each day ,

to come to you and pray .

Mother Of Thoughts

 

Mother Of Thoughts
By Paul McCann

Mother of thoughts
you are always there in my mind
every now and then and where and when
guiding me and watching over me .

Mother of thoughts
grant me the grace to distinguish
all of the thoughts that are meant for me
and those that need to let me be ,

Mother of thoughts
help me to control those thoughts
that sweep over me in a storm
trying to drown me in a cruel way .

Mother of thoughts
when the troubles of life come
be in my thoughts so I would know
that you are there to help me everyday .

Mother of thoughts
prevent the thoughts that don’t belong to me
and need to be sent on their way
never to return again .

Mother of thoughts
I am grateful that you are there
in my thoughts and on my mind
from the very first moment that they came .
