Mary's Mother's Day

The month of May is Mary’s Mother’s Day,
can earthly mothers love as much as she?
God is her Son, she loves Him all the way,
the closest human to infinity.

She proves her care for us when she appears
at Guadalupe, Fatima and Lourdes,
with Mother’s love, she wipes away our fears,
and helps to tend lost sheep who are the Lord’s.

From on His cross God shared her with mankind,
and then gave us to her to be our mother,
best intercessor to her Son, she’ll bind
us all with love and grace to Christ, our Brother.

O Mary, we your children heed your eyes,
our Mother, who loves us to Paradise.
