I asked, 'Mommy, sing to me?'
And she sent me a nightingale.
I asked, 'Mommy, sing to me?'
And she sent me the wind in the trees.
I asked, 'Mommy, sing to me?'
And she sent me the waves of the ocean.
I asked, 'Mommy, sing to me?'
And she sent me the laughter of a child.
I asked, 'Mommy, sing to me?'
And she held me close and whispered my name.

A New Song

"I waited patiently upon the Lord; *
he stooped to me and heard my cry.
He lifted me out of the desolate pit, out of the mire and clay; *
he set my feet upon a high cliff and made my footing sure.
He put a new song in my mouth,
a song of praise to our God..." (Psalm 40)

I can't prove God exists.  I can't prove our Mother Mary hovers close in our present world.  But this I know in my heart .. when I was most desolate, our Blessed Mother cradled me in her arms and pointed me back to her Son.  I don't understand all things spiritual.  I can't present a discourse on theology.  But I can tell you my life has changed dramatically.  And that's all I need.
