The Nursery Of Time Explained Poem by Mary Angela Douglas

THE NURSERY OF TIME EXPLAINED

up the honeyed ladder of the sun

remembering by Your grace all shall be done

and knowing we are rich beyond compare


knowing you are with us everywhere

our Grandmothers sang to us in the nurseries of Time.

how shall the flower be blighted now


when petal by petal you showed us how

to dwell in comfort while the storm rages ineffectually.

i know my mother, my grandmother can see


out the windows of Heaven me

raising a flag however small waving to the God of all

I'm here I'm here just as in childhood years


knowing you are holding onto me.
