Poetry: A mother's prayer

Lord I give thanks for this gift you have given to me
This soul you have entrusted to me
A little bundle who will be so dependent on me
Nourishing the mother in me

Make this world a safe place for her
so fearless she can grow and flourish in it
Make health and wealth her constant companions
Wisdom following swiftly right behind

Lord do not let her get lost
in the maze that we call life
Let there always be for her
A guiding light so bright so true

Help me to be the right teacher
so that in years to come
with strength of knowledge she may learn to exist
with wisdom she may make her decisions

Lord I ask you to keep your eye on me too
for though you have entrusted her to me
In this journey I too will need your help
to nurture this soul as a wise mother should

Amen....
