A Mother's Prayer



My sweet baby on loan from above

no better treasure could I more love

I stand here beside your bed as I pray

I lay my hand on your head and I say:

May you grow up to serve Him

all of your days

May He lead you and guide you in all of your ways

May He bless your future with friendships that last

May you cherish your youth and not grow up too fast

I stare in wonder at your tiny frame

Just to think God knows you by name

He knows every hair on your head

He knows your thoughts before they are said

May God grant you peace in the midst of a storm

May God give you strength even when you’re forlorn

May you answer the door when Jesus comes knocking

May wisdom guide when your mouth is talkin’

May discretion protect you and keep you pure

May you never stumble or fall for a lure

May your heart remain humble to the very end

May uprightness and truth be what you defend

May the world not ensnare or change who you are

May the light that's within you shine like the stars

May angels surround you body, spirit, mind

May favor and peace be yours to find

May rejection and pain never reach you

May your spirit grow bold for what you’re called to

As you rest in God’s care I will rest too Knowing that Jesus is watching over you. Amen
