A Satisfied Mother’s Prayer

A
Satisfied
Mother’s
Prayer

Lord, I am satisfied tonight to be
A mother in a world gone mad with hate.
Here in this hour of earth’s agony,
I do not ask that I might do some great
Magnificent achievement, bringing fame.
I do not covet larger fields to roam.
I only want to keep alight the flame
Of God’s love, shining from a Christian home.
I thank Thee for my children. If the way
Should lead to heartbreak, grant me courage, Lord.
I will remember that there was a day
Thy mother’s heart was pierced, too, by the sword.
Thy grace will be sufficient now – as then.
I am glad to be a mother, Lord – Amen.
