Blossoms of great beauty,
roses delicately bound,
daisies or mere dandelions
by little hands entwined, a sign
to show our hearts’ delight,
knowing you are crowned
Our Queen, in starry splendor.
The like we cannot fashion so
surpassing all earth’s treasure,
yet your Mother’s heart
takes not the value’s measure,
seeing only love and heartfelt gift.
With open arms our offerings you receive
and bring our prayers
before Your Son, you intercede
to lead us into His embrace,
O tender Mother
Mediatrix of all grace.
Sr. Cecilia Francis, CFR
