Blessed Mother

Blessed Mother Blessed Mother you answered the call Holy Mother of Jesus and of us all It must have been hard to watch him grow to a man Knowing that "He" was the sacrificial lamb Did you call out to God to change the plan of salvation To save your son over all creation I feel your pain, your anguish and tears The times you wanted to hide from your fears To steal Him away, protect Him from fate Begging the Father to let him escape But deep in your heart you stayed true and strong You knew to obey, to resist would be wrong Knowing from the start, His destiny was set in stone You raised and loved Him, though not truly your own I honor you Holy Mother of God I thank you for this rocky path you've trod I pray to persevere in the trials I face To use your model of love and grace Debra Irsik
