my praying mother

When i was a bratty teenager, my Mom gave me a bookmark with this poem on it. I was NOT an easy child, to put it mildly, but I always knew my Mom was praying for me. I kept it in my Bible for years but somehow I lost it. I'm on the hunt for a new one, but it doesn't matter~I memorized it a long time ago!

"I said a prayer for you today

And know God must have heard.

I felt the answer in my heart

Although He spoke no word!

I didn't ask for wealth or fame (I knew you wouldn't mind).

I asked Him to send treasures

Of a far more lasting kind!

I asked that He'd be near you

At the start of each new day;

To grant you health and blessings

And friends to share your way!

I asked for happiness for you

In all things great and small.

But it was for His loving care

I prayed the most of all!"

never, ever underestimate the power of a praying mother~it's been known to change lives!

i love you mom.
