Early Morning Prayer to the Virgin Mary


My brother's sunrise view near Buffalo, NY 

Truly blessed Lady,

   who bore,

   who nursed

 the dear One of Bethlehem.

Wonderful in your maternity,

Wonderful in your tenderness 

   for us still.

We greet you first in the morning,

   as the sky begins to brighten,

as the wood warbler starts to sing!

Fr. Stephen Morris
