Mary

Mary

Holy Mother Mary 
Always close at hand
I see your sign in my palm 
You calm and understand

Holy Mother Mary
Never there to chide
You mark the hand of all
To still … to love …to guide.

oh my gosh I came to thank you on a random poem of yours for your kind words at Carolyn's blog and I came upon a poem I had never viewed of yours before. I thought i had seen them all. I love this one, Richard. Are you Catholic? Also a very belated congrats for this one going back to around 2014 I see.

This is a lovely poem, Mr Seal. Serene and beautiful. She is, indeed, blessed above all women.
