Our Lady Of Fatima, My Prayer To Thee (2017) Poem by Bernedita Rosinha Pinto

Mother of Grace, Mother of compassion
help us O' Mother with Thy love and intercession
help us to be humble and gentle like thee.
Many of us by pride, many of us by hatred
live on this earth without respecting humanity's worth
help us O' Mother, to find the calmness we seek.
Many of us by fatal injuries, many of us by illness survive
without any cure, without any hope of revival
help us O' Mother to gain the health we need.
Many of us in poverty, many of us in riches surmise
without any feelings for others we enjoy or deprive
help us O' Mother to abide by mutual care and concern.
Many of us by fear of terror, many of us by fear of war
have fled from our homes and lost our family unity
help us O' Mother to find courage and hold back our tears.
Many of us cannot walk, many of us cannot talk or see
Help us O' Mother, to run and sing and praise Thee
for Thou art so compassionate, Thou art our Hope.
