ODE TO HEAVEN'S MOTHER

 

You feared as you held your Firstborn,

That from your arms He would be torn.

You knew that one day

The glory for His Father He would yearn,

And willingly walk the path of thorns

His godly crown to earn.

Did your heart break

When the heaven's wept

To see your perfect Son

On the cross of tribulation

Endure untold pain

In the valley of humiliation?

And when home He came

To embrace His glory,

Did you weep with joy

Because above all,

He was just your boy!

ODE TO HEAVENLY MOTHER

 

You nurtured me so lovingly

And placed me on the godly path;

You bid me follow in your footsteps,

To bring honour to Your noble heart.

 

I long to bring You my earthly memories

And tell You of them, one by one;

I hope to bring You endless joy

When home at last I come.
