A
Mother's Prayer
The
things I never told you, I'd like to tell you now;
Of
feelings held contently inside my heart to swell;
Of
thoughts and dreams, wants and happiness too;
A
Mother's prayer to finally share with you.
Lord,
govern their lives as you have mine,
Touch
them with your sweet divine,
Make
them happy, guide their paths,
Tickle
their funnybones, let them hear their laughs.
Dry
the tears sliding down their faces,
Hold
their hands when the love heart races,
Make
them stand tall when the burdens are great,
Prepare
them to carry the loads of fate.
Heal
the hurts and sufferings of the spirit,
Make
them listen until they hear it;
That
sweet song of yours that will touch their soul
And
carry them forward until they are old.
Lord,
let them see the meaning of life,
Protect
them from the evils of strife,
Gently
guide them in the path of your ways,
I
pray, Lord, I pray for them everyday.
I
know, Lord, that i fell short many times;
In
my guidance as "Mom" there were crimes,
times
tha I failed to help them see
The
beauty that you have bestowed around me.
Take
their hands and lead them forward
Give
them strength to avoid the coward
And
evil ones that lurk about
Waiting
to swallow them up and shout
the
conquest of their gentle soul
Provide
them the coin to pass the toil.
Please
make things right, Lord, once again
To
help them to see the meaning of friend
And
loved ones that hold them close to the heart
With
a Mother that loves them, never apart.
