A
Mother's Wish
by
Barbara Philbrook
If I could
wish for just anything and have it become a reality,
I'd wish that your eyes would be opened and that you
could really see.
I'd wish
that you had chosen a different kind of life to live,
I'd even wish that the price you must pay was one that I
could give.
I'd wish
that you had chosen to walk the narrow road that leads to
the Father above,
I'd wish that you were Heaven bound due to your Mother's
deep love.
I'd wish
that you would recognize the importance of the choice we
must each make,
and I'd wish that you'd acknowledge God's Love and His
offer of salvation you'd take.
Instead of
wasting my life wishing both night and day,
I offer you up to my Heavenly Father as I kneel nightly
to pray.
My heart
as every mother's aches with the things that I would
rather you would choose to do,
but there are decisions that no matter how deep my love I
can't make for you.
I can pray
with my heart breaking and tears streaming down my face,
but there are things between you and God in which I have
no place.
I know
where I'll be when the Lord calls all of his loved ones
home to stay,
and that you will be there too is one thing for which I
pray.
God tells
us in the Bible that it is His will that each and every
one of us should live,
and no man who calls on Him a negative answer will
He give.
Why God
even said to test Him see if what He said is true,
call out His name I promise He will hear and He will
answer you.
God knew
before this world was put into place,
who would do what and who would be in which particular
space.
He knew
the choices you would make and the friends you would have
right up until today,
and He knows what will be the outcome of the things for
which I pray.
God knew
then and He still put you on this earth,
and one thing is certain Everything God does has real
worth.
God has
for each and everyone of us a part in the great master
plan,
when the time is right He'll be there waiting for you
holding out his hand.
Mother's
Love and Caring doesn't stop when you reach a certain
size,
but we must put our Faith in our Heavenly Father not in
our Child is what I now realize.
And so it
is with great Faith and confidence I place you in God's
loving hands today,
and that you and He will work it out is the result for
which I pray.
