A Mother's Prayer

Dear Lord,

It's such a hectic day,
with little time to stop and pray.
for life's been anything but calm,
since You called me to be a mom.

Running errands, matching socks,
building dreams with stacking blocks.
cooking, cleaning and finding shoes,
and other things that children lose.

Fitting lids on bottled bugs,
wiping tears and giving hugs.
a stack of last week's mail to read
where's the quiet time I need?

Yet, when I steal a moment, Lord,
at the sink or ironing board,
to ask the blessing of Your grace,
I see then, in my little one's face,
that you have blessed me all the while,
And I stoop to kiss that precious smile.

I pray you'll be my eyes
And watch her where she goes
And help her to be wise
Help me to let go

I pray she finds your light
And holds it in her heart
As darkness falls each night
Remind her where you are

Guide her with your grace
Give her faith so she'll be safe
