i am there with you Holy Mother
with your Sacred Son
under the olive trees
throwing shade over His Blessed Head
light breezes move the leaves
and sunshine lights up His Glorious Face
and then covered again by shade.
the wedding guests murmur
the birds sing
the wind blows
and there still beside you sweet Mother
seated a shadow under His Blessed Hand
moves to take the cup
with new wine
red, reflecting light
His Light
wine that He will offer as His Blood
wine that they will offer as he dies.
Blessed Mother I am with you
All day at Canaan, Today,
