A Mother's 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 on me to be a mom.

Running errands, matching socks,
Building dreams with building 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 minute, 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 stop to kiss that precious smile!
