A Mothers 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 matching blocks. Cooking, cleaning and finding shoes, And other stuff that children lose.

Fitting lids on bottled bugs, Wiping tears and giving hugs. A stack of last week's mail to read, So where's the quiet time I need?   Yet, when I steal a moment, Lord, Just at the sink or ironing board, To ask the blessings of Your grace, I see then, in my small one's face...

That You have blessed me, All the while, And I stoop to kiss, That precious smile.
