In our spiritual journey Marianne and I spent some time in a spiritual group where she gained a connection to Mother Mary. Although we did not stay with the group, the connection to Mother Mary remained. When she began a study of clay sculpture, her first piece was a bust of Mother Mary. And She inspired me as well, as I yearn for peace.
Mother of Peace
The Divine Mother stands tall and serene
She bestrides our war-torn earth
Looking down with infinite tenderness
Softly she sings a gentle lullaby
Rest my children, lay down your arms
Life is precious, you are precious, my darlings
Do not kill your brothers and sisters
You are all my children, every one
Your hearts beat with my own
Peace is my gift to you.
