Hail, Mary, Queen of May

Hail, Mary, Queen of May,
Look upon our gardens.
See our muddy hands, see weeds thrown aside,
see sweat upon our brows.

Hail, Mary, Queen of May,
Look kindly on us as we plant tiny seeds
of faith, hope, and charity
in young and youthful hearts.

Hail, Mary, Queen of May,
Look lovingly as we tend tender plants.
Remind us to till, to water, to protect, and to feed.
Remember our gardens in your prayers.

Hail, Mary, Queen of May.
By your immaculate heart, connected to Christ,
pray for us here on earth,
mothering through our days.

Hail, Mary, Queen of May,
Special and loving mother of God,
pray for your children and 
tend your garden now.

Hail, Mary, Queen of May,
pray for us.
