Mother's Day Prayer
by Vicki Bush

Dear Lord, its such a hectic day,
With little time to stop and pray.
Life's been anything but calm,
since you called me to be a mom.

Running errands, matching socks,
Building dreams with wooden blocks.
Cooking, cleaning, 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 take a moment, Lord,
Just at the sink or ironing board;
To ask the blessing 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.
