the Spirit came upon her
and the one born of her
is called Holy[1]
we are clingy and restless
beyond life, Moms give being
their holding is freeing
my tongue stammers
and falters[2]
as I acclaim our Mother
we are cranky and hapless
beyond life, Moms engender
union, never asunder
we should thank Her
we should do
what pleases Her[3]
we are helpless and needy
beyond life, Moms assure
that we can endure
[1] Luke 1; 35

"Years ago my mother used to say to me, she'd say,
'In this world, Elwood, you must be' - she always called
me Elwood - 'In this world, Elwood, you must be oh so
smart or oh so pleasant.' Well, for years I was smart.
I recommend pleasant. You may quote me."
Well, for years I was smart, oh so very smart, I too recommend pleasant - Trust the harmony
