A Mother's Prayer
Lord today is Mother's Day, but our hearts are split in two.
Half is with the children still here.
The other with the child that is there with You
All the lovely presents are a nice surprise
But the one thing we want most is missing
and tears fill our eyes.
We know when you sent them, Lord
You didnt promise how long he would stay.
All You said was to love him and treasure each and every day.
But Lord, it crushed our hearts when you called for his return
I feel like half a Mom, as I ache, weep and yearn.
But Lord, tell him I love him just as much as I did before.
And could You please make a window,
so he can see through heaven's door?
Let him see that he is missed and thought of with each breath.
And that Mother's love begins before life, and does not end with death.
So , on this Mother's Day, the Greatest Gift, we give to You.
For Lord, we know you missed him and you love him, too.
