~ A Mother's Prayer ~
Warm as sunshine,
Sweet as honey,
Filled with love and care,
Tears of joy, tears of pain,
Describes a mother's prayer.
A plea for mercy,
A cry for help,
A thanks for
Blessings received,
A prayer for a guiding hand,
For those we have conceived.
A prayer of joyous elation,
For the gift of a small
Precious life,
A prayer of suffering
And sorrow,
For the accompanying
Pain and strife.
A mother's prayer is honest,
With devotion,
So strong and sincere,
Borne on the wings
Of the angels,
Out to Father's listening ear.
Tears of joy
At a new baby's birth,
Tears of joy
At watching them grow,
Tears of worry,
That never will cease,
When into the world they go.
Flesh of my flesh,
Blood of my blood,
My life's greatest joy and pain,
Who brings the sunshine
To my life,
As well as the dark clouds
Of rain.
Few others petitions,
That rise up to Heaven,
Can even come close
To compare,
To the strength of love,
And intensity,
That is found in
A mother's prayer.
Fear not mothers,
For your prayers are heard,
And are precious
In God's Holy sight,
Find comfort in knowing,
He stands by your side,
And His wisdom is just,
And right.
Be honored mothers,
And continue to pray,
For yours is a special place,
Chosen to be
The creators of life,
By God,
In His wisdom and grace.
