Mother Of The Innocent

Mother Of The Innocent

By Paul McCann

.

Mother of the innocent

you run in the sun with

children since time had begun ..

Mother of the innocent

you skipped and played

with children in all the songs they sung .

Mother of the innocent

as we knelt and prayed we felt

that you were always near .

Mother of the innocent

you walked with us through troubles

and drove away the fear .

Mother of the innocent

You watched us play

in  the childhood years we outgrew .

Mother of the innocent

you were in the laugher

of the childhood days we knew .

Mother of the innocent

we grew up fast

and left all our childhood days behind .

 Mother of the innocent

Help us in our old age

to be innocent and kind .
