Mother's Prayer
Seated at the kitchen table
alone and late at night
Her head is bowed in reverence
her hands are folded tight.
The prayers she whispers softly
are filled with words of love
Requesting for her children
God's help from above.
Dear Jesus, watch and keep them safe
and guide their steps each day
Set angels all around each one
and help them on their way.
Dear Lord, I know it's your will
and I am much obliged
That you will shape and carefully
tend each aspect of their lives.
God's loving eyes gaze
down at her
He hears, He knows. He cares
For she has touched the
heart of God, with her tender
mother's prayer.
