My Prayer (Mother's Prayer)

A friend of mine had this posted on Facebook, and I thought it was perfect!  I think it's what should be in all of our hearts, whether parent, teacher, or whoever is involved in the life of a child!

My Prayer (Mother's Prayer)

Oh give me patience when wee hands
Tug at me with their small demands.
And give me gentle and smiling eyes.
Keep my lips from hasty replies.

And let not weariness, confusion or noise
Obscure my vision of life's fleeting joys.
So when, in years to come my house is still
No bitter memories its rooms may fill.

If anyone were to ask me why I do what I do, it would be easy to give them an answer.  Children are my life, next to God and my family, of course.  Follow this link to see my heart for children!
