Poetry: A mother's prayer

by Susie M. Arviso

Created on: March 12, 2011   Last Updated: February 18, 2012

Bless my children Lord, I pray
Protect and cover them today
I place them in your loving care
I affirm to leave them there

Bring your kingdom to their lives
Have your will with them, anywise
Give them daily what they need
Forgive their sins, and supersede

Keep them from temptation's snares
That they be not caught; unaware
For yours is the kingdom, and the power
Their glory and guidepost every hour

Be the reason for their joys
Not the shallow kind this world employs
Get them through the darkest storms
Keep their hearts safe and warm

I trust you better than anyone
To hold them close to your bosom
They are yours, they belong to you
Bless them Lord in all they do

Amen
