Claire's poem

What a wonderful day

When children go out to play
the sun is shining every day
What a wonderful day.

My dad is cooking hamburgers
My mother is so gay
What a wonderful day.

I eat my dinner, get dressed,
say my prayers, go to sleep
and in my sleep I sing to myself
What a wonderful day, What a wonderful day!

May Crown

OUR LADY'S LITTLE PEOPLE

May 28, 2013

Today our Classically Catholic Memory Co-op crowned Mary.  One little person in our group just received her First Holy Communion, so she crowned Our Lady, while all the little folks gave her flowers.  While processing, the children recited our memory poem:

"May Crown"

All early in the morning

I rose to greet the day,

And underneath my window

I saw a Child at play

The robins were not fearful

of one so mild and meek;

They nested at his shoulder

and lighted at his cheek.

He picked the clustering roses,

The lily in its  sheath,

The long-stemmed purple violets,

And wove them in a wreath.

And then I saw a Lady

Come walking in the dew;

Her robe was white as starshine,

Her mantle was deep blue.

And as the Child approached her,

All sweetly she knelt down

And bent her head, receiving

His fragrant, flowery crown.
