Thank you Mother Mary

When I stumbled through the darkness and thought myself alone,
You were there watching, protecting, waiting.

When I doubted I would ever feel the warmth of daylight again,
You placed your arms around me, comforting, soothing.

When at long last I emptied my soul and reached for the unknown,
You penetrated the cold, stone fortress of my heart.

When I turned from the desolation of darkness,
You filled me with a brilliant light and turned me toward your Son.

Thank you Mother Mary, Blessed Virgin, Queen of Heaven.
