Ave Maria

Gentle as motherly wind, your sacred place Children we are embraced by a warm caress Oh Ave Maria, filled with love around; Bestowing us gifts of peace through times blessed. No unfinished trials here, or short mown days As a guiding hand protects our daily tread, While we implore the Angelus by heart Your presence sprays beads of comfort overhead. Feminine god of mercy, Crown of all souls Your tender strength abides within, like the night That imbues a power of wholeness in us; Collecting our tears with serenity’s delight. Though worries may crumble under seasons’ rain Ave Maria, such grace plods hearts to row By lifting us with a message from your breath, A whisper that overcomes life’s Lent, we glow!

:D oh, Nette, loved this so much. And your ... beads of comfort! Ha! You crafted the perfect line for your night contest. What a wondrous way of seeing stars. I think that line will stay with me. I can see stars outside right now, they will forever remind me of a rosary... how wonderful. Best of luck, sweetie. Are you well? Is it your wet season there, the worst time for you? Prayers sent. And love... always, your soul sis, Cyndi
