Bless my Mom, Lord Guard her, nestle her in the crook of your arm Cover her in the shadow of your wing Tenderly lead and guide her Keep her as she navigates these times Carry her, cradle her Remind her she is safe Remind her she is loved Lift her countenance Surround there with invisible guardians Encompass her with loving friends Warm-handed tender companions Yoke-fellows with shoulders and arms Burden bearers complete with tears and prayer Strengthen her in her journey Remind her how in her you are blessed Send her loving messages of mercy Rose-petal fragranced packages of love Gather her children 'round about her Answer her in her deepest heartfelt prayer Send her all the apples of heaven Golden fruit of healing of life Set her on her path in her calling Finding all those other ones like her Tested, proven lovers of your children Draw them together in love Give them the twelve fruit of healing Bless them with the Tree of Life Bless her, Lord Bless my Mom, and keep her Stephen Pursell, 12/29/02 |
