Mother, Hear Me Calling

Mother hear me calling
by Will Danforth

Mother hear me calling
Mother hear my plea
Mother I have fallen
in love with your mystery

Mother do not shun me
let me come to you
your beauty has undone me
this shrunken life is through

Mother I’m not leaving
I’ve spent my life adrift
I’ve overflowed with grieving
now I must have your gift

Mother take my body
Mother take my soul
I must have your blessing
before I can feel whole
