She was with me, my Mother all the time; <br />Whenever troubles came and I was sad; <br />She was my perpetual succor- the prime; <br />My Mother from Heaven since I’as a lad. <br /> <br />O Mother Mary, Help of Christians all; <br />What miracles you wrought upon this soul! <br />And everytime I prayed to you to call; <br />You came to strengthen my will in my role. <br /> <br />O how on earth can I thank you, tell me? <br />And yet ungrateful is my mind and heart; <br />I continue to sin repeatedly; <br />My sinful burden outweighs my Life’s cart! <br /> O Holy Mary, pray for me, I ask; <br /> In Heaven’s Sun, one day, I wish to bask!<br /><br />Dr John Celes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sonnet-mother-mary/
