A Mother’s Prayer
By Joann Ryan-Stanley
The Day Turns Into Night
As She Sits Upon Her Porch
Her Work Is Done Her Day’s Complete
But There’s One Last Prayer She Needs To Make
Her Well Worn Hands Begin To Pray
As She Reaches Towards The Sky
Her Heartfelt Prayer Reaches Up To God
Who Hears Her From On High
Who Reaches Down To Give Her Comfort
As She Prays A Mothers Prayer
Dear God Please Guide My Children Day By Day
Protect And Help Them Throughout Their Life
Keep My Loved One’s Safe From Harm
Give Them Comfort And Make Them Strong
And Grant Them Love Along Life’s Way
Deliver Them From The Trials Of Life That Come
And Surround Them With Your Love and Light From Beyond
Watch Over My Family As Only You Can
From Heavens Front Door
With A Father’s Eye..
