In remembrance of Irma on the 1 year anniversary of her passing. Ha ha yo.

Oh, Mother.
How miraculous and abundant
Is your strength.
If the world
Lacked your presence
We would lose our way
And wander the earth forever.

Oh, Mother, my dear mother,
You have endured winter storms
And have held up your sorrow through frequent prayer.
I pray that until your desires
Take flight to dance among the clouds
You will remain strong and healthy,
Dear Mother.

Dear Mother,
With mind and heart
You express your desire for spring
On the face of the earth.
Please play for us a melody of peace
And rejoice as mother of the Human Century.
