Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

I loved this one so much, I just wanted to share!

Chapter 4



   Their happy father arched his long graceful neck over and around them protectively. Then he set off very slowly with the cygnets following long in single file. Their mother brought up the rear.
     "What a sight!" Sam said to himself. "What a terrific sight! Seven Trmpeters all in line, five of them just out of the egg. This is my lucky day." He hardly noticed how stiff he had become from sitting so long on the log.
    Like all fathers, the cob wanted to show off his children to somebody. So he led the cygnets to where Sam was. They all stepped out of the water and stood in front of the boy - all but the mother swan. She stayed behind.

What a precious picture, Elena. My daughter is reading Trumpet of the Swan right now, too. She'll be tickled to see this.
