O Mother Mary
O Mother Mary
Statuary
How does your garden grow?
May-flowers crown
Your head
As the children pray
O Mother Mary
Breviary
“Full of grace”, he said
The angel speaks
Your “yes”
And the Christ child moves
O Mother Mary
Estuary
How does water become wine?
“Do what he says”
Even though
His hour had not yet come
O Mother Mary
Sanctuary
Hide me in your womb
The dragon roars
Your seed
Crushes the serpent’s head
O Mother Mary
Reliquary
Assumed to Heaven home
Flesh and blood
Now await
Your family’s arrival there
O Mother Mary
Emissary
How does your garden grow?
May flowers crown
Your head
As the children play
