My Version of the Traditional "Day Is Done"

Inspired by photos I took of Beaver Island, Michigan 

back in 1998 and by one of the songs by Velma Frye 

on her album "Seven Sacred Pauses", 

I wrote my own verse ala the traditional song

"Day Is Done."

Day is ending, the sun is setting

o’er the lake, o’er the dunes, 

see it fade.

All is sound, safely rest;

God is near.

Mornings with Mary

My post is dedicated to my cousin Rosemary, who died 

unexpectedly this past Thursday, March 21, 2013 

and to her family.

The verse below was written originally

 for a friend who suffered the death of a son.

Mary, Virgin Mary, Miriam,

Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God, 

Or, as she’s called by the faith of Islam, Maryam.

However you address her ,

her aid is nearby.

As has been said before,

and most likely will be again,

these times are hard.

So hard that even as adults, 

we seek our mother’s comforting touch.  

May our loving Mother

bring whatever is needed

for the peace of Christ

To dwell in your family’s hearts and home.

our Blessed Mother
