Beloved, mother
this day you will eat,
in this body of trying,
the bread of hope.
Beloved, mother
this day you will bathe,
amidst this body of breaths,
in the fragrance of rose water.
Beloved, mother
this day you will hear,
inside this sounding body,
the soft laughter of your children.
Beloved, mother
this night you will study,
from this body of sight,
the stars near and far away.
Beloved, mother
this day you will taste,
from this body of flavors,
the recipes you taught us well.
Beloved, mother
this day you will feel,
from this body of touches,
the returning love of all caresses.
Beloved, Mother of God
this day please grant through
the body of your greatest love,
the joy of the senses of your soul.
