A Prayer For The MothersWho show up to the playground Armed with pretzels and patience Ready for whatever the day brings Unafraid of tantrums or tears Who gently rub sunscreen Onto their children and yours Calling, “Stay where I can see you!” As you sit nursing the baby Who offer an extra diaper When you forget to pack one And offer a dose of perspective When you forget that, too Who put meals on your tableAnd coffee in your handWhile they ask how you’re doingAnd wait for the answerWho witness this wild thing called parentingThat does not stop for conversationOr mental health strugglesOr medical diagnosesBless these mothersThese warrior womenWho make up the villageAnd make motherhood more magicalPlease send them unexpected joysAnd bursts of much needed energyTo sustain their living and lovingTheir friendship and motheringFor all of these friends: amenCopyright © 2024 Megan Hogg.This week’s sponsor of Mothering Spirit is Be A Heart Design, a modern Christian lifestyle brand that creates beautiful products to help both adults and children grow in faith.
