A conversation between mothers

(Sing)…..Ave Maria, gratia plena

Dear Holy Mother of Jesus,

I have four kids,

work three jobs,

none pay a living wage.

I make ends

that have no end – meet.

(Sing)…..Maria, gratia plena, Maria, gratia plena

Mary, help me find affordable housing

and Wise Men bearing gifts;

tell them to stop calling me lazy

and to grant me my rights.

I’m more than an incubator

to impregnate and leave.

(Sing)…..O little town of Bethlehem /How still we see thee lie
