I find myself longing
for the Blessed Mother
and I hear her saying
I have been here all along
I cry out to her
where have you been?
and I hear her saying
I am everywhere you are
and there is no where I am not
you just don’t always see me
I say to her
There seems to be so many places you are not,
Church, Work, Media,
your absence is so present
that I have to search for you
And I hear her say,
I am searching for you at the same time
Listen for me
Watch for me
And in an instant
You will find me
