12th c Fontenay Mother of God
At midday I see the church open,
It draws me within.
I come, Mother of Jesus Christ,
Not to pray,
I have nothing to bring you,
Or to ask of you.
I only come, O Mother,
To gaze at you,
To see you,
To cry simply out of joy,
Because I know that I am your child,
and that you are there...
Paul Claudel
