Notes About The Poem
The month of October is the feastday of Mother
Mary's Holy Rosaty ... Catholics in the Philippines celebrate this event with street pageantries, regular novena prayers and community gatherings...*sampaguita -- Philippines' national
flower
Autumn's Feast Of The Holy Rosary --DHR
Gentle as motherly wind, your sacred place
Children we are embraced by warmth caressed
Ave Maria, filled with hope around;
Fall enshrines this radiant moment blessed.
No undue trials here, or short mown days
Your gentle hand protects our daily tread,
While we implore the rosary by heart
October glints of beads ...stars overhead.
And heaven beams in ioyful contentment
Crowning decades of Holy Mary's time,
'Conceived without sin;' loved by her people
Sampaguitas bestowed with hums sublime.
Our Lady of Mercy, Fount of all Souls
Your tender strength abides like the soft night
Imbuing a grace of wholeness in us;
Where street parades, candles float with delight.
Ordeals may crumble under season's rain
Yet , hearts overflow
Intercesssions lifting us with your breaths,
A whisper that endures life’s Lent, we glow!
