Lady of the Way

Lady of the Way

Lady of the Way

Lady, your presence
and prayer
make wherever we go
home and holy.

The stony tracks of Galilee,
Judea’s bitter hills,
the blood-flecked streets in
Jerusalem
reveal your holy way.

Your child is always with you,
cradled in your arms;
you place him in our care;
we are straw; take our lives,
love is in our care.
