Mother's Pray

Restless tears in me are tearing apart,
A dreadful weight upon my head,
I pray to you, with all my heart,
You, my only dream, forever to be led!

Oh Shepherd Father, Starry Son,
Blessed Virgin Mother, Ghost divine!
This life, not mine but the only one,
For which my path has been assigned.

It's an elegy, a song of plea!
Happiness, strength, not for my own sake!
To shield the little ones from early farewells,
To them, like the sun in the sky, I wake!

I implore, I pray to the Higher Power!
Grant me a sliver of strength to bear,
Mistakes made, love given, hour by hour,
Nurture the dearest archipelago with care!
