Mother of Us All

by Anna Tanalski

A figure in the light
Radiant as the moon
Hands outstretched , calling you
The Queen of Heaven has arrived

She calls you to a place of safety
She takes you under her wings and guides you through
You are not alone, there are no disguises
She is the mother you yearn for

The Mother of the Son
Chosen to bear the King
A gentle flower
The Mother of Us All
