POEMS IM HONOR OF OUR BLESSED MOTHER MARY, OUR MOTHER Lady most beautiful, Lady most fair, Watch over your children with love and care; When troubles come and things go wrong, Lady most lovely, help us along. If on the wrong path we should stray one day, Virgin most faithful, guide us along the way. For with your protection we are sure to be Safe with you in heaven for all eternity. Elaine Canniff HELPER OF SOULS If times are hard, and you feel blue, Think of the others who are worrying too; Then think of Mary, your Mother Divine, ‘And pray to her often so things will be fine. She'll always help you to do the right thing, So why not invoke her, and graces she'll bring. . Beseech the Lord for favors in her name, And He'll reply ''surely '' and give you the same. Robert Goulet IMAGE OF OUR LADY Here as I kneel, seeking thy help, in meditation, A gleaming ray attracts my eye to thine exquisite form. What is the incomparable beauty which gives me such consolation, This immaculate image so like the dew in the early morn? Mother most beautiful, never forsake me, Protect and shield thy child in times of woe, I beg of thee to harken my entreaty, For thou alone art able to do so. Now, as the time has come to bid adieu, Let me once again glance upon thy loveliness. This alone will carry me through and through, For nowhere can be found such sublime holiness. Marie Benoit MOTHER BELOVED We tread on her heart and cause her pain, But still she stands above, With outstretched arms and smiling face, And a heart so full of love. The raindropssweiscererentears trommner eyess And she's sad for you and me, Because we, her sheep, have gone astray And left her alone to be. Her mantle is formed from the blue of the sky, Her eyes from the glow of a star, Her lips from the red of the moon above, And her smile shows a glory afar. Doris Theriault MARY, MY MOTHER Christ, dying on the cross, gave me His own Blessed Mother, mine to be; What greatest gift from heaven above Could come to me than Mary's love? Ave Maria! Oh, Mother of mine and of mankind, Your wishes are those of your Son Divine; Watch over me until my life is o'er And lead me then to the heavenly shore, Ave Maria! Philip Dodge STELLA MARIS Sparkle forever, O Silvery Light, That dazzles my faltering steps through the night; Ever show me the way, Glowing Candle on high; Let me know you are there by winking your eye. Let me gaze on your shimmering, glimmering gown, As white as snow and as soft as down. Moonbeam so pure and so blindingly white, As to make one's soul thrill with the greatest delight, Reach in your heart; our lonely cry hear In your mercy and kindness ever be near, So that when death comes we may live in your sphere, Annette St; Pierre
