Mother's Prayer

I lie here on my side

pouring over my day’s work in my mind,

you already sleeping next to me.

My thoughts flow out in cadence with your breath,

Taking inspiration in your depths,

there is confidence in rest.

I think about our children grown,

and pray they always do what is right.

I pray their lives will be good, and filled with

all good things as mothers always do.

These homely thoughts give comfort

lying in this bed so late at night

before sleep comes.
