A Mother's Day Prayer

Our Father in heaven

Whose love is devine,

Thanks for the love

Of a mother like mine.

 

And in Thy great mercy

Look down from above

And grant this dear mother

The gift of Your love.

 

And all through the year,

Whatever betide her,

Assure her each day

That You are beside her.

 

And, Father in heaven,

Show me the way

To lighten her tasks

And brighten her day.

 

And bless her dear heart

With the insight to see

That her love means more

Than the world to me.

~ The Heart of a Mother ~

 

He settles

The barren women

In her home

As a happy mother

Of children.

Psalm 113:9
